Institutional Ethnography as Writing Studies Practice.

"Institutional Ethnography as Writing Studies Practice" is a book that explores the concept of institutional ethnography (IE) as a tool for self-reflection and understanding within academic institutions. The book is a compilation of chapters written by various authors who work in writing programs and centers. It focuses on the perspectives of directors of tutoring, writing, and student centers, who navigate the challenges of balancing administrative expectations and the day-to-day work of their centers. The book encourages readers to consider their own institutions and offers insights and conceptual tools for meaningful change. While the book provides valuable insights and prompts self-reflection, it lacks practical guidance on how to implement the findings of IE studies. Overall, "Institutional Ethnography as Writing Studies Practice" is a thought-provoking resource for those engaged in writing studies and center work. [Extracted from the article]
