Dorothy Smith’s writings are foundational for institutional ethnography, and her still-evolving work continues to inform the ongoing development of this shared project of inquiry. This invited session features Dorothy Smith in conversation with three institutional ethnographers (Colin Hastings, Kamini Maraj Grahame, Frank Wang) who will discuss specific aspects of Smith’s past work that they have taken up or extended through their own research. Dorothy Smith will also speak about what she is doing in her current work.
