JIE is an open-access, peer-reviewed scholarly journal dedicated to research and writing that advances institutional ethnography (IE) as a method of inquiry and a sociology for people. The journal provides a home for scholarship that begins from individuals’ everyday experiences and maps the institutional relations that organize and coordinate those experiences.
