HLTC47H3: Institutional Ethnography: Investigating Health and Social Problems in the Everyday
By engaging with ideas rooted in critical social science and humanities, and emphasising the work of Canadian scholars, students learn how policy, law and various forms of regulation and governance impact on our everyday lives. Students learn theoretical, ontological and methodological concepts from a distinctive Canadian school of feminist sociological analysis called social organization of knowledge. This is an advanced and intensive reading and writing course where students learn to think about ruling relations in the space between subjectivity and objectivity.
