This sessions aims to create bridges between Resistance Studies and Institutional Ethnography.

Theoretical, empirical, as well as methodological contributions are welcome. Themes can include, but are not limited to:

- political activist ethnography and social relations of struggle

- militant/activist research in Institutional Ethnography

- discovering and/or conceptualizing resistance with Institutional Ethnography
