  • Summary

    This chapter focuses on the historical development of ethnomethodology, presenting Harold Garfinkel’s career-spanning efforts to develop a theory of the constitutive interactional practices in social systems of interaction. Specifically, it examines five stages in that developmental process: 1939–1942 in North Carolina; 1942–1946 in the Army Air Force; 1946-1952 at Harvard; 1952–1953 at Princeton; and finally his long career at UCLA, extending from 1954 to 2011.

    Anne Rawls is Professor of Sociology at Bentley University. Her research interests focus broadly on social theory, with emphases on ethnomethodology, communication studies, democracy, and race relations. In addition to publishing extensively on Garfinkel and ethnomethodology, she has also published on Durkheim and DuBois. She recently coauthored Tacit Racism with Waverly Duck.
