Acting gender: Actors’ experiences of gender role conformity and hopes for their characters
Studies have found that audiences are often presented with characters that conform with traditional gender roles but there to date has been no empirical investigation into these characters from the actors’ perspective. We investigated the extent to which actors (n = 318) are required to conform to traditional gender roles in the course of their work and the disparity between their acted and ideal characters. We found that both male and female act…
In Search of a Professional Image: How Women Comedians Engage Gender in Their Work
Individuals who differ from what is typical in their occupation face a dilemma about how to incorporate their “ill‐fitting” social characteristics into their professional image. This study investigates how women working in the male‐dominated world of stand‐up comedy present their gender and whether this evolves over times of social change. Our mixed‐methods, longitudinal design utilized 540 performer profiles from 195 women comedians at the Edinb…
Subtle activism: Heterotopic principles for unsettling contemporary academia from within
Research on academic activism tends to foreground vociferous and explicit forms of activism that pursue predefined political agendas. Against this backdrop, this article proposes that academic activism can take more subtle forms. Writing as an academic activist collective, we unpack what subtle activism might look like within the context of contemporary academia. We use Foucault’s concept of heterotopia to argue that subtle activism can expand th…
Inconvenient academic workers? Collective (Re)humanisation through the dialogue of a Freirean Reading Circle
We argue that academia's performative obsession is inherently dehumanising. We seek to rehumanise academia by sharing a method for collective research and writing. Through a fresh approach to Freirean Reading Circles (FRCs), we offer a series of images and conversations from our circle meetings to demonstrate aspects of humanity often erased in traditional academic writing. Although FRCs can be adapted to different cultural artefacts, our choice …

Breaking the mold: Working through our differences to vocalize the sound of change
This paper orchestrates alterethnographical reflections in which we, women, polyphonically document, celebrate and vocalize the sound of change. This change is represented in Kamala Harris's appointment as the first woman, woman of color, and South Asian American as the US Vice President, breaking new boundaries of political leadership, and harvesting new gains for women in leadership and power more broadly. With feminist awareness and curiosity,…
Fantasy spaces and emotional derailment: Reflections on failure in academic activism
Against a backdrop of contentious political landscapes of Brexit and the Trump victory, we reflect on our own experience of an attempt to engage in an activist event for academics that failed. We contend that our experiences of failure in this event, revealed by fantasy spaces and emotional derailment, serve as lessons for reinvigorating possibilities for academic activism. To provide background, we describe an event designed to form a policy as …
The retrospective (im)moralization of self-plagiarism: Power interests in the social construction of new norms for publishing
The ‘scourge of self-plagiarism’ has begun to find a place in the discourse of organization and management scholarship. Whether a real issue of concern or a moral panic, self-plagiarism has captured the attention of authors, editors, publishers, and plagiarism-detection software companies. The types of behaviors castigated as self-plagiarism and the severity of approach toward those behaviors vary, as power brokers in the publishing process argue…
A Place at the Window: Theorizing Organizational Change for Advocacy of the Marginalized
Using Giddens’s Structuration Theory as a lens, this article theorizes an organizational change perspective that emphasizes the role of the marginalized. The context for this work is the current changes within the Roman Catholic Church, with respect to its teaching and norms around homosexuality. The change perspective proposes the emergence of “Legitimate Alternative Structural Configurations” (LASC) from which organizational actors find guidanc…
Specialization training programs for physician assistants: Symbolic violence in the medical field
Postgraduate physician assistant (PA) programs designed to train individuals for the workplace have existed since the advent of the profession itself. These residency programs continue to grow in number despite the lack of outcome data supporting improvements in PA learning, effects on career development, or improved patient care. Leadership bodies of the PA profession in the US have been at odds regarding the meaning and ramification of postgrad…

Manifestations of Power and Control: Training as the Catalyst for Scandal at the United States Air Force Academy
This article explores the role of training practices at the United States Air Force Academy (USAFA) in perpetuating power and control issues and the potential consequences of those practices. This article also includes an overview of the training practices at the USAFA, issues of power and control manifested in the training process, and gendered reactions to the loss of personal control experienced during the initial socialization training.The au…
Deviance, Dissonance, and Détournement: Culture jammers` use of emotion in consumer resistance
Because emotion plays such a large part in the creation of the hegemony of consumerist ideology, we contend that any complete understanding of consumer resistance movements must also take into account the role of emotion in fighting against consumerist ideologies and global corporate control. In this article, we theorize about the role emotion plays in consumer resistance social movements — especially those using the resistance tactic of culture …
Investigating Fourth Amendment Judicial Outcomes Across Contrasting Minority School Settings: Subjectivity in Disciplinary Decision Making in Diverse Settings
This study explores the court system's treatment of students' Fourth Amendment rights in cases emerging from contrasting minority school settings and whether discrepancies exist in case outcomes between these extremes. From virtually every search and seizure case that occurred between the 1985 U.S. Supreme Court case in New Jersey v. T.L.O. and December 2003, data for each search and how it was administered were gathered and analyzed. Findings su…

Reversing a conspicuous absence: Mindful inclusion of emotion in structuration theory
As the concept of emotion in organizations gains popularity in both research and practice, the danger of atheoretical application grows. Scholars of emotion in organizations have begun to refer to Giddens’ (1979) structuration theory as potentially relevant for the phenomenon of emotion. This article demonstrates how existing research on emotion can be framed in the context of emotion structuration that depicts how emotions both structure and are…
