Unit Description

How people engage in and organize the activities of everyday life - activities such as washing dishes and solving jigsaw puzzles, playing soccer and driving-in-traffic, working as a secretary and conducting laboratory experiments - are fundamental issues in sociology and abiding concerns of ethnomethodological research. Through the investigation of such activities this unit invites students into a sociology of everyday life and opens for examination issues of skill, reasoning, embodied action, the social organization of space and time, and the production of social order.
