خلاصه	Interpretive institutional ethnography (IIE) is a qualitative research design that combines Dorothy Smith's institutional ethnography — which maps how institutional texts and social relations coordinate everyday life — with an explicitly interpretive, meaning-centered stance. Rather than stopping at describing ruling relations, the researcher asks what those relations mean to people embedded in them and how participants actively interpret institutional demands and texts in their lived experience.	Ethnography is a qualitative research tradition in which a researcher immerses themselves in a social group or community over an extended period — typically three to six months or longer — to study its culture, values, and behaviours in their natural setting. Originating in social and cultural anthropology, and consolidated as a rigorous method by Bronisław Malinowski in the early twentieth century, ethnography produces rich, contextualised accounts of how people live, work, and make meaning together.
