(Dis)continuity of Care
Nurses and electronic health records in a Canadian hospital
Institutional ethnography (IE) is used to examine transformations in a professional nurse's work associated with her engagement with a hospital's electronic health record (EHR) which is being updated to integrate professional caregiving and produce more efficient and effective health care. We review in the technical and scholarly literature the practices and promises of information technology and, especially of its applications in health care, fi…
Intersectionality, Policy‐Oriented Research and the Social Relations of Knowing
Researchers attempting to improve knowledge for policy making look to intersectionality to theorize the important, yet poorly understood constitutive elements of people's lives and experiences. As argued here, certain epistemological and ontological issues, while much debated, remain a problem in intersectional and other social research. This paper introduces Dorothy E. Smith's analytic approach, institutional ethnography, arguing that its use av…

Dorothy E. Smith
This chapter contains sections titled: Dorothy Smith: The Person in Social Context The Scholarly Work The Intellectual Context and Impact of the Work Current Directions: Economic Restructuring and Governance Conclusion Bibliography
Working across Boundaries
The authors reflect on their own experience of international research collaboration to draw analytic attention to its social organization. Using institutional ethnography (Smith, 1987, 2005) they explicate the social relations of inequality into which they were drawn in spite of their best intentions. This analysis makes visible what was otherwise not recognized or recognizable, suggesting that feminists working across borders must learn how to t…
Aid Effectiveness and Women’s Empowerment
Although the empowerment of women is a prominent goal in international development, feminist development professionals, activists, and scholars remain deeply dissatisfied with the limited extent to which women's empowerment is actually achieved. Their experiences and analyses raise questions about the connections and disjunctions between discourse, institutional practices, and everyday life. A major effort to reform development aid guided by the …

A Child's Death
This article originates from a research study that explores 'what happened' to a 10-year-old child with Rett syndrome, who died from "severe malnutrition" according to a Coroners Service inquest jury. The inquest evidence analyzed, using institutional ethnography, shows that approximately one week prior to this child's death three health care providers (an emergency physician, a hospice volunteer and a home care nurse) conducted individual assess…
Dorothy Smith and Knowing the World We Live In
The paper presents an account of the scholarly work of Canadian sociologist, feminist, theorist and activist, Dorothy E. Smith, leading up to her development of institutional ethnography as "a sociology for people." Drawing on selected writings, the author discusses some of the major ideas, debates and practical influences that are part of Smith's scholarly trajectory. The line of thinking that is illustrated is how her feminism was integral to h…
Textual accounts, ruling action
This paper reflects critically on nursing knowledge-based action, its increasingly scientific and text-based manifestations, and the relevance of these practices for power and powerlessness in nursing. Smith's concept of text-mediated relations of ruling (1990. 1999) provides the analytic frame to investigate how nursing case managers articulate public health services and home support for people with disabilities to specific policies, including f…
Institutional Ethnography and Experience as Data
Knowledge, Experience, and Ruling Relations
Dorothy Smith is considered one of the most original sociologists and theorists of our time, and her writings have attracted much attention in Europe and the US as well as in Canada. This collection of original essays, written by scholars who worked or studied with Smith, exemplifies Smith's approach to social analysis.Each author takes an empirical approach. Some analyse texts (the maps and documents of land-use planning, photographs, an influen…
Knowledge, Experience, and Ruling
This tribute to Smith's empowering contribution as a thinker and teacher reveals how empirical studies can illuminate concepts usually presented in the abstract. As the first compilation of applications of Smith's methodology, this is a landmark work in the developing field of the social organization of knowledge.
Administering child protection
This article explores textually‐mediated administrative technology such as that being implemented by Ontario's Ministry of Community and Social Services to organize more effective control over the delivery of contracted services to children and families under child welfare legislation. A case study of the development and testing of a related technology, case‐weighting, initiated by the Metro Toronto Children's Aid Society, offers the opportunity …
Learning to Nurse
This article reports a study of the relation between learning and work in nursing. Using "institutional ethnography," it examines the learning process in the final year of a three-year nursing program in a Canadian college, preparing graduates for RN exams. The article is concerned with how the learning process is shaped by the use of a formal model rooted in a scientific model of nursing and how that model's use contributes to making the learnin…
