Larry Wieder's radical ethno-inquiries

Kenneth Liberman

pp. 251-257

D. Lawrence Wieder was a member of the first cohort of Harold Garfinkel’s graduate students and participated in many of the initial discoveries that led these early phenomenological sociologists to conceive of a radical ethnomethodology, discoveries that concerned the accountability of social action, the reflexivity of those accounts, the documentary method of interpretation, and the collaborative nature of local orderlinesses. The fabulous aspect of that early group is that they all went to school with each other, and their founder Garfinkel learned as much from his remarkable students (Wieder, Harvey Sacks, David Sudnow, Melvin Pollner, and Don Zimmerman were only a few of them) as they learned from him. It was scholarly life at its very best.
