Oshie Nishimura-Sahi grew up in a rural area in Southern Osaka, Japan. Living with her grandparents who ran a small fruit farm on a hill, she spent her childhood with pear trees, cattle, bugs, a Shinto shrine, and Jizo stone statues. Stories told by her grandparents about a more-than-human world are also an essential part of her childhood memory. Those fragments of childhood memory gave rise to her interest in studying educational practices in terms of non-human actors which are capable of changing the world. She is currently studying transnational policy movements, drawing upon Actor-Network Theory (ANT), for her doctorate. She is a doctoral researcher in the Faculty of Education and Culture at Tampere University, Finland.
