In criminal cases and in court hearings, we tend to expect that the true sequence of events has to be found rather than just any story. Here, Wolff-Michael Roth shows that qualitative social research can be conducted in the manner of police work or court proceedings. He does so by exhibiting how short pieces of transcriptions can be approached to uncover who, when, where, and how participated, what kind of social situation produced the transcription, and so on without any background knowledge other than that talk itself. Commenting on transcriptions of a researcher in the course of doing rigorous data analysis, readers learn doing ethnographically adequate accounts and critical institutional ethnography \u201cat the elbow\u201d of an experienced practitioners. Further topics include the role of turn sequences, the ethnomethods of knowledge-power and institutional relations, the documentary method of interpretation, and time-sensitive social analysis.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1144 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/onlineacademiccommunity.uvic.ca\/scholarycommunications\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1718\/2016\/11\/Roth-Profile.jpg\" alt=\"roth-profile\" width=\"109\" height=\"136\" \/><strong>Wolff-Michael Roth<\/strong>\u00a0is Lansdowne Professor in Applied Cognitive Science at the University of Victoria&#8217;s faculty of education.
