Abstract
This chapter presents ethnomethodology as a specific kind of sociology that studies the largely implicit methods that members of a setting use when creating and maintaining the recognizably orderly properties of that setting. Ethnomethodology was developed in the United States by Harold Garfinkel and has influenced sociologists around the globe. It has been a major influence on the development of conversation analysis and membership categorization analysis. Its core message is that recognizability, meaningfulness, and orderliness are inherent in all everyday, routinely enacted practices in and of any setting.
