Institutional Ethnography in Postcolonial and Cross-Cultural Settings
Language: English
Institutional ethnography has been used to challenge marginalisation by uncovering how the ruling relations of the (global) economy work to dismiss people’s situated knowledges about their own lived experiences.
In this session, we welcome presentations that explore how institutional ethnography has been used in postcolonial and cross-cultural settings.
When confronted with diverse ways to conceive the ‘world’, and more precisely the ‘social world’, it is worth thinking about who (or what) is involved in its making. Thus, we also encourage submissions that have taken place, or discuss research in contexts where the more-than-human might be considered as actively involved in organising – or shaping- the social world.
Likewise, we welcome presentations that problematise the very concepts used such as ‘multicultural’, ‘decolonial’ and ‘intercultural’ and provoke us to think about how we might approach IE in postcolonial and culturally diverse societies.
