Together with a team of sociologists – Chiara Bassetti, Erik Boström, Kenneth Liberman, Jakub Mlynář, Robin James Smith, I read Georg Simmel’s “Sociology. Inquiries into the Construction of Social Forms” (“Soziologie. Untersuchungen über die Formen der Vergesellschaftung“) to explore how Simmel’s sociology can/could have informed ethnomethodological inquiries. The result of this collaborative reading project has just been published in The American Sociologist. The paper titled “Simmel and Ethnomethodology: Foundational Sociological Issues from a Nondualist Perspective” and written by Chiara Bassetti, Erik Boström, Kenneth Liberman, Jakub Mlynář, Robin James Smith & Dirk Vom Lehn has can be downloaded HERE.
