Institutional Ethnography

Institutional Ethnography is a research approach that examines how everyday experiences are shaped by larger social institutions and systems. It looks at how rules, policies, and practices within organizations influence people's lives and work. By exploring the connections between individual experiences and institutional structures, it reveals underlying social forces and power dynamics. This method aims to understand how social orders are maintained and how they can be changed, providing insight into the often unseen ways institutions impact our daily routines and interactions.
