My research @oiseuoft.bsky.social is an #InstitutionalEthnography (an alternative sociology) that keeps institutional #RulingRelations in view to examine how Ontario’s Parental Engagement Policy coordinates #MotheringWork & teachers’ labour in K-12 public edu utoronto.scholaris.ca/items/c4dfb0...
public scholars, students who have finished their programs and aren’t yet hired in academic are two groups can’t access through academic logins as we did before. That’s why #OpenAccess publications matter
In 2025 more than 70% of our research has published #OpenAccess each month. OA plays a key role in our mission to advance learning, knowledge, and research across the world.

A recent blogpost, published today. Professor Himani Bannerji had said to me once when I visited her “Rashmee, people sometimes or often forget that I have a rich life elsewhere as well” and I think that’s something that helps me remember myself in many places

I received a message in 2022 from Dorothy Smith saying she wanted to nominate me for an award @lhaecomms.bsky.social She coordinated reference letters, wrote hers which she later sent to me. I don’t have to be “In The Academy” to be an Institutional Ethnographer. I know that and Dorothy knew that.

There’s plenty of room in #InstitutionalEthnography for EdD folks and those of us making a difference in workplace practices within non-academic settings. Dorothy’s view/vision was that IE has no need/space for dogma. Let’s dismantle the divide between who’s an IE’er and who’s not. Let’s talk!
