This article provides an introduction for social workers to ethnomethodology (EM), and suggests that they can find not only a similarity of attention between their front-line work and EM, but ways of making sense which explicate the connections between concrete and practical activity and the accomplishment of local as well as extra-local orders. EM redirects analytic attention to the ordinary and mundane ways that people in their everyday lives jointly produce, account for, and manage local, practical, and taken-for-granted scenes to produce social order. EM, by attending to what people 'do' in concert, rather than what they might say, think, or imagine, provides a essential empirical redirection for social work at a time when increasing attention is being given to language, discourse, and narrative. Through EM social workers can find tools to explicate the essential reflexivity of their practice and the incorrigible indexicality of professional and client accounts. By turning to EM social workers can recover and celebrate actual peoples' artful accomplishment of local settings and forms of order.

This article examines social workers' attention to privilege, white privilege, and oppression as ideological practice. It suggests alternative methods for accounting for troubles in social relations derived from ethnomethodology.Findings: Although presented as progressive, the methods used by anti-racist social workers to account for interaction as organized by racism and privilege rely on practices for working up race and privilege isomorphic with those used by racists and white supremacists.Applications: Alternative methods to account for troubles in relations are suggested which draw on an abiding attention to every-day socially organized practices. Problems of method: Counting privilegeTo understand privilege, white privilege, whiteness, race, and racism, social workers need an analysis which steps back from these concepts, and which asks, how is it that people interact, such that they have recourse to, and use such concepts as sensible and cogent descriptors of interaction, identity, and social relations? In approaching these concepts, social workers need to recognize and explicate that which ethnomethodologists call the 'essential reflexivity' of accounts (Lynch, 1993). This means that an account of a relationship as marked by privilege, white privilege, and so on, must be examined in and as practically produced in situ and in interaction. An attention to this essential reflexivity, which links concepts to the social relations, interactions, and occasions of their use, redirects social workers' attentions to people's mundane,
