More studies is going to stand the test of time as the readable introduction to ethnomethodology that still fits the program (rather than being esoteric dry history and theory)

I know the whole point of these grifters is to foment outrage, and that means never doing the required reading. If you is interested in ethnomethodolgy, one could do worse than beginning with Harold Garfinkel. Also, this frustrates me because I don't want to defend ethnomethodology.

There are proper book reviews, there are rogue book reviews, and there are hooligan preudo-book-reviews. I've done the last one for "Harvey Sacks and Ethnomethodology" by Graham Button. My verdict: don't read it. #EMCA

ethnomethodology is the ultimate anti-discipline - which is both what makes it interesting (its constant rejection of disciplinary boundaries) and annoying (its constant rejection of disciplinary boundaries)

On many occasions Garfinkel, Psathas and Liberman all explain that 'ethnomethodology' as a discipline or method does not exist and that what they are doing is phenomenology. UK ethnomethodology (what I call the 'Manchester Program') has clung to a heart that does not exist.

Thank you! This is a 1st year undegrad class so Butler would be too difficult. Goffman is hard enough. Also, because "doing gender" is so often (mis)attributed to Butler in gender studies, I think it's important for students to know the theory's deeper root in sociology and ethnomethodology first.
