Abstract

and Griffith stress that terms like social relations and organization must be grounded in real experiences that take place in real local sites among people with real bodies. Abstract concepts and ideas do not have a place in institutional ethnography. Institutional eth-nographers are interested in what is actually happening to people in specific places and at specific times. It is not a method to uncover meanings and norms, but rather how actual people live their everyday lives and how together our lives create social organization.
