Abstract
Jara-Ettinger and Dunham argue that the institutional stance is used to interpret the behavior of individuals and represent alternative structures. While they focus on roles like barista, they argue that the stance also applies to kinds like race and gender. I argue that there are several differences suggesting this is incorrect, or at least not yet supported by their arguments.
