Egg freezing as an employment benefit? Gender, career, and reproductive health in neoliberal academia
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present an exploration of the intersection of gender, career and reproductive health within the context of Early Career Women Academics (ECA) experiencing neoliberal organizational practices in universities. It considers the possibility of institutional support, the financial implications of reproductive choices and the need for open discussions about fertility treatments, specifically on egg freezing and t…
Are we all in it together? Constructions of responsible leadership through speechmaking at COP26
The need for an alternative understanding of leadership that can address grand societal challenges, like the climate crisis, has inspired a rich research field under the umbrella of responsible leadership (RL). This paper explores how alternative meanings and understandings of RL emerge through the language leaders use. Using discourse analysis of speechmaking at COP26, we show how different leadership actors (politicians and climate activists) e…
In memoriam
Last April a group of colleagues at the Bristol Leadership and Change Centre, University of the West of England, met to reflect on the legacy of our dear friend and colleague Barbara Czarniawska, who sadly passed away on April 7, 2024.The mood was understandably sombre, but our shared reminiscences were also reason for celebration of the life of this exceptional person.In the annals of organization studies, certain figures shine brightly, leaving…
Unleading during a pandemic
Characterising COVID-19 pandemic as a 'state of exception', we might expect great hero models of leadership to come to the fore. Instead, drawing on a thematic analysis of 246 news articles, this paper illustrates something different: communities, companies, individuals picked-up the leadership mantle but were reluctant to frame their practices under a leadership rhetoric. The paper explores spontaneous initiatives and leaderly actions that were …
Irregular adoptions and infrastructures of memory in Spain
The irregular adoption of displaced children during the Spanish Civil War, the Franco dictatorship, and the early years of Spanish democracy remains silent and unrecognised. The difficulty in recognising these irregular practices is linked to remnant infrastructures of memory ( Rubin, 2018 ). We propose that the time to speak openly about irregular adoptions of forcibly disappeared children in Spain is arriving, and doing so could be a way of exp…
Change within the change
Despite the growing number of pregnant women engaging in outdoor adventure activities, very few studies have explored pregnancy or the specific needs and challenges of pregnant women in tourism research. To fill this gap in the literature, we examine the participation of pregnant women in adventure tourism through the theoretical lens of liminality. Conceptualising pregnancy as a liminal stage in which women are ‘suspended’ between two statuses, …
El nomadismo y el movimiento como epistemologías del mundo contemporáneo
De la misma manera que el movimiento y el nomadismo, en tanto que formas de vida opuestas al sedentarismo, implican no solo el abandono de la idea de un hogar fijo sino también un desafío activo o una evitación furtiva de la autoridad sedentaria del estado, el movimiento y el nomadismo como epistemologías confrontan el orden generalmente fijo de los lenguajes, discursos y perspectivas con los que la ciencia intenta explicar nuestro mundo social. …
Origins of Organizing
The words leader/líder and their resonances in an Italo-Latin American multinational corporation
The problems of ‘lost in translation’ are well known. Yet some terms of English managerial vocabulary, which are perfectly translatable in other languages, remain untranslated. One explanation of this phenomenon is what Linguistic anthropology call negative semantic resonances. Semantic resonances focused on the issue of which meanings can or cannot be expressed by a single word in different cultures. In this paper, based on an organisational eth…
More than a method? Organisational ethnography as a way of imagining the social
The authors - two anthropologists and an organisational theorist, all organisational ethnographers - discuss their understanding and practices of organisational ethnography (OE) as a way of imagining and reflect on how similar this understanding may be for young organisational researchers and students in particular. The discussion leads to the conclusion that OE may be regarded as a methodology but that it has a much greater potential when it is …
You don't take anything for granted
This article examines the impact of the transnational adoption research of an interdisciplinary group of researchers (AFIN). Since 2004, AFIN has successfully developed several research projects with the participation of practitioners and adoptive families and their associations. AFIN uses an ethnographic method and an anthropological perspective-which provides insights on transnational adoption, politics, and professional culture in Spain. This …
Organizing through displacement, travel and movement
The impetus for this special issue derives from the 30th Standing Conference on Organizational Symbolism (SCOS), ‘Organizing through displacement, travel and movement’, held in Barcelona 11–14 July
Journeying and the experiential gaze in research
In this paper, we consider the implications of the ideas of journeying and the experiential gaze for research practice. We do so by drawing first upon Plato's allegory of the Cave as a representation of the journey of the philosopher to see reality, invisible and unknown, but constituting the underlying truth of what we experience through our senses. We use this as a metaphor for research as a journey of discovery. Recognizing that, for some, anc…
Italo Calvino and the organizational imagination
This article explores the way in which uses or abuses of urban metaphors can inform differing polities and ethics of human organization. From its earliest inception, the city has taken on a metaphorical significance for human communities; being, at one and the same time, a discursive textual product of culture and, reciprocally, a provider of artefacts and architecture that produces culture and meaning. The city can be interpreted as a trope that…
A visual inquiry into ethics and change
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to introduce the practices and findings of a visual inquiry developed by the co‐authors with students in a Business School in the south west of England. The authors are interested in how students engaged with the visual as a practice of inquiry and how this contributed to their development of a critical approach to the concept of ethics in business organisations. Design/methodology/approach Students visited an…
