Anyone here trained in institutional #ethnography and the work of Dorothy Smith? I'm newer to it but am really compelled by it as an ethnographic strategy for tracking "ruling relations" (political economy, state, hegemonic ideology), organizing practices, and how actual people relate to them in real life. A way to track and highlight contradictions in practice, #Marxist+#microsociology unite! Too good to be true?

tagging @alex as someone with an actual sociology phd...

⚡ Using my first post to announce that I am delighted to have joined the fantastic team of Prof. Anette Fasang at her chair of #microsociology back @HumboldtUniBerlin as a Research and Teaching Fellow. I'm really looking forward to reintegrating into the lively #Berlin research community after a wonderful Postdoc at the Department of #Sociology @UniOxford.

I will be working on topics around #familydynamics, #wealth, #lifecourse, #stratification, #gender, #socialdemography etc.
