Genealogical Method Skill
Master genealogical analysis: tracing the contingent historical emergence of concepts, practices, and institutions to reveal hidden power relations and challenge present assumptions.

IS:
- History of the present (why we are as we are)
- Contingent emergence (could have been otherwise)
- Power analysis (whose interests served?)
- Destabilization (question what seems natural)
