Tuesday, 17 July 2018: 08:30-10:20
Location: 202A (MTCC NORTH BUILDING)
TG06 Institutional Ethnography (host committee)

Language: French and English

People with cognitive weaknesses related to mental illness, dementia, traumatic brain injuries, and delayed cognitive development represents some special challenges for the IE. How to get a valid understanding of their life-world when they have difficulties expressing themselves, narratives, memory, the conception of the context and their relation to institutions and social services? The discussion focus on doing IE for these and similar vulnerable groups which are for some reasons regarded as being unable to take care of their own situation. Papers on methodological issues as well as substantial results from empirical research on relations, institutional structures and discourses are most welcome.
