Abstract

This paper uses the theoretical approach of Dorothy Smith‘s institutional ethnography to analyze the creation, maintenance, and evolving space of Frog Hollow Neighbourhood House. There is a strong focus on how the entrance, users, staff, and funding of the Neighbourhood House affect the welcoming space of Frog Hollow, with theoretical analysis drawn from Les Back, S.R. Lauer, and Liisa Malkki. This paper concludes that while grant tensions influence the atmosphere of Frog Hollow, it is the users who fundamentally impact the creation, maintenance, and evolution of the overall welcoming space, which is essential to the very existence of the Neighbourhood House.
