Since the 1967 publication of "Studies in Ethnomethodology", Harold Garfinkel has indelibly influenced the social sciences and humanities worldwide. This book, the sequel to "Studies", comprises Garfinkel's work over three decades to further elaborate the study of ethnomethodology.

This volume consists of 12 essays by prominent Goffman scholars, which critically assess Goffman's many contributions to various areas of study, including functionalism, social psychology, ethno-methodology and feminist theory.
