Career

Gubrium received his PhD in sociology specializing in social psychology from Wayne State University in 1970, with a dissertation titled Environmental Age-Concentration and Personal Resources: a Study of Their Impact on the Morale of the Aged.[1] He then worked in the sociology department of Marquette University from 1970 until 1987, and after that as a professor of sociology at the University of Florida from 1987 until 2002.[2][better source needed] He chaired the University of Missouri Department of Sociology from 2002 to 2016, when he retired and was granted emeritus status.

Gubrium founded the Journal of Aging Studies for Elsevier in 1987, remaining its editor for 32 years.[3] College of the Holy Cross professor Renee L. Beard took over the editor position from Gubrium in 2019.[4]

Research

Gubrium's areas of research are aging, health, care, everyday life, family discourse, human services ethnography, identity construction, social interaction, qualitative methods, and narrative analysis. He developed a constructionist approach to the life course and other social forms.[5] He and collaborator James Holstein formulated an analytic vocabulary for studying identity as an institutional formation[6] and family as a category of experience.[7] The approach is methodically elaborated in relation to the complex practices of power in social interaction.

Gubrium contributed to the development of qualitative methods by conceptualizing their theoretical bearings. He has examined the everyday practices of narrativity, locating stories and storytelling within the circumstances of their production. The aim is to locate and describe social forms (identity, family, aging, health, policy, service and care) as practices of narrativity.

Gubrium is concerned with the everyday contours of meaning-making in diverse circumstances, from ordinary encounters to going concerns such as residential treatment for problem children and aging in nursing homes. He works at the border of ethnography and narrative analysis, combining these to deal with the perennial problems of linking observational data with stories, speech and other narrative material. The methodology has come to be called "narrative ethnography."

He executed a program of research on the social organization of care and treatment in human service institutions. His research on the everyday practice of caregiving in nursing homes, originally described in his monograph "Living and Dying at Murray Manor," presents the details of care from the perspectives of the residents, the staff and family members. He paid special attention to caregiving and the cognitively impaired, in particular how the Alzheimer's disease movement transformed the meaning of senility, as reported in his book Oldtimers and Alzheimer's: The Descriptive Organization of Senility. The program extended to institutional practices across the life course.

Ethnographies of institutional settings set the basis for comparison. Earlier research on interpretive practices in a residential treatment center for emotionally disturbed children was followed by ethnographic and narrative studies of accounting practices in physical rehabilitation, a psychiatric hospital, family counseling and self-help groups for home caregivers. The program centers on narrative events and strategic storytelling in everyday life, especially in an institutional context, with attention to implications for social policy.

Along with research colleagues David Buckholdt, James Holstein, and Amir Marvasti, Gubrium is credited with introducing the concept of "the active interview" to the social science community,[8] as well as sensitizing concepts for researching storytelling and other accounts in everyday life, such as "analytic bracketing," "interpretive practice," "narrative ethnography," "narrative environments," "scenic presence," "assemblages of meaning, "narrative eventfulness," "biographical work," "deprivatization," "institutional identity," "local enactment," “site-specificity,” and "organizational embeddedness".[9] Put together, the concepts provide a working configuration of ideas and categories—an analytics—for making visible and documenting the everyday organization of experience.
