    The study of discourse in organizations (also referred to in the literature as “organizational discourse studies”) focuses on

  • Feeling things happen”: Evaluating the Playhouse Theatre and Peace-building Academy (2018–2020)

    Open AccessDarlene Grant, David GrantARTICLECultural Trends2024

    This article discusses the tension often experienced in "Arts for Peace" programmes between the desire meaningfully to evaluate a creative process and the need to account to funders for the delivery of pre-determined expected outcomes that makes no allowance for discoveries made as the project unfolds. Taking the EU-funded Theatre and Peace-building Academy programme (2018-2020) as its case-study, it reflects on the efficacy of the arts to engage…

  • Men’s mental health and the arts: Perceived benefits and dynamics of engagement

    Open AccessShane O’donnell, Maria Lohan et al.ARTICLEHealth Promotion International2023

    Arts engagement is gaining recognition as a non-clinical approach to promote mental health and well-being. However, the perceived utility of the arts to promote mental health among men with low socioeconomic status (SES) and how to best engage them is underexplored. This study explores the lived experiences of men with low SES who engage with the arts in Northern Ireland (n = 41). Data collected via focus groups (n = 5) and interviews (n = 11) we…

  • American Teacher Panel Civic Education Survey: Technical Documentation

    Laura Hamilton, Julia Kaufman et al.BOOK2020

    Public schools have the potential to exacerbate or counter Truth Decay (the diminishing role of facts and analysis in American public life) by supporting students' development of knowledge, skills, and dispositions related to civic education. Researchers administered a survey to public-school social studies teachers about their approaches to civic education. This report, one in a series of six, provides technical information about the survey.

  • Memory and lost communities: Strange methods for studying place

    Jennifer H Rice, Jonathan Alexander et al.ARTICLEReview of Communication2020

    Traditionally, public memory scholarship looks to the monuments and memorials inscribed with cultural narratives of the past. Yet, public memory is also a process of formation and deformation, of comings and goings, much like the tourists entering and exiting a city such as Reno, NV. For this project, the authors of this essay took up Stephanie Springgay and Sarah E. Truman's “walking methodologies” to explore the ephemeral experiences of the Uni…

  • Battle Lines: Poetry and Mass Media in the U.S. Civil War

    Open AccessDavid GrantARTICLEJournal of American History2020

    Eliza Richards's Battle Lines is a compelling study of how periodical poetry during the Civil War struggled to frame the war's violence as a shared experience binding the Union together across divisions of time and space. War poetry was shaped at once by the correspondences and by the incongruities that marked the circuit of poetic figuration, writing, and dissemination through which the events of the war traveled from distant sites to a newly al…

    Open AccessAnthony D Okely, Davina Ghersi et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2017

    To our knowledge, this is only the second time the GRADE-ADOLOPMENT approach has been used. Following this approach, the judgments of the Australian Consensus Panel did not differ sufficiently to change the directions and strength of the recommendations and as such, the Canadian recommendations were adopted with very minor alterations. This allowed the Guidelines to be developed much faster and at lower cost. As such, we would recommend the GRADE…

  • Feeling for meaning: The making and understanding of Image Theatre

    David GrantARTICLEResearch in Drama Education The…2017

    Using iconic images created by students in Belfast and Sarajevo of their respective cities, this paper will explore how emerging ideas in the field of cognitive science (e.g. Gallagher, S. 2005. How the Body Shapes the Mind. Oxford: Clarendon Press) can help explain the making and understanding of Augusto Boal’s ‘Image Theatre’. There has been growing interest in the intersection between performance and cognitive science (McConachie, B., and H. E…

  • Authentic leadership in context: An analysis of banking CEO narratives during the global financial crisis

    Open AccessHelena Liu, Leanne Cutcher et al.ARTICLEHuman Relations2017Cited by: 13References: 64

    The concept of authentic leadership rose to prominence through its idealization as an inherently moral and universally desirable trait. We problematize this romantic notion by exploring how the ‘authenticity’ of the CEOs of four major Australian banks was discursively constructed before and during the global financial crisis (GFC). Using multimodal discourse analysis of media texts, we show how what it meant to be an ‘authentic leader’ was co-con…

  • Trusting America: Undine Spragg’s Revolutionary Break in The Custom of the Country

    David GrantARTICLECanadian Review of American Studies2016References: 2

    This article claims that Undine Spragg’s ascent in Wharton’s The Custom of the Country represents a victory over the traditional American faith in historical continuity as a model for personal progress. In Undine’s recovered memory, oratory suffers a comic debunking that frees Undine to untie the bonds of generational rededication

  • Doing Authenticity: The Gendered Construction of Authentic Leadership

    Open AccessHelena Liu, Leanne Cutcher et al.ARTICLEGender Work and Organization2015Cited by: 29References: 16

    Authenticity has been a focus of much leadership research in recent years. Despite this interest, there has been a dearth of studies that explore the role of gender in the social construction of authenticity. To date, authentic leadership theories have tended to be either gender neutral or, where gender has been considered, it is argued that women as ‘outsiders’ are less likely to be accepted by their followers as authentic leaders. In this study…

  • Trends in Sexual Orientation Missing Data Over a Decade of the California Health Interview Survey

    Matt Jans, Joseph Viana et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2015Cited by: 12References: 27

    Objectives. We explored changes in sexual orientation question item completion in a large statewide health survey. Methods. We used 2003 to 2011 California Health Interview Survey data to investigate sexual orientation item nonresponse and sexual minority self-identification trends in a cross-sectional sample representing the noninstitutionalized California household population aged 18 to 70 years (n = 182 812 adults). Results. Asians, Hispanics,…

  • “Hippies on the third floor”: Climate Change, Narrative Identity and the Micro-Politics of Corporate Environmentalism

    Open AccessChristopher Wright, Daniel Nyberg et al.ARTICLEOrganization Studies2012

    Climate change discourse permeates political and popular consciousness, challenging the ecological sustainability of our economic system and the business models that underpin it. Not surprisingly climate change has become an increasingly divisive and partisan political issue. While a growing literature has sought to address how business organizations are responding to climate change, the subjective perceptions of managers on this issue have recei…

  • Holding eternity in an hour: A practical exploration of the arts in the health care of older people with dementia

    David Grant, Jenny Elliott et al.ARTICLEJournal of Applied Arts and Health2012

    This project involved creative artists working with older people with dementia and staff from two Belfast Health and Social Care Trust-supported housing centres in a mixed programme of dance, painting, music and drama that culminated in an open workshop with relatives and friends of the tenants. The study steered away from traditional medical models of art/music/dance therapy where the participant is perceived as a 'patient' in favour of identify…

  • Readers beware: Provocation, problematization and … problems

    Open AccessC Hardy, David GrantARTICLEHuman Relations2012Cited by: 5References: 97

    In their recent Human Relations article and subsequent rejoinder to three commentators, Alvesson and Kärreman make a number of assertions concerning the development of organizational discourse analysis and the current state of research in this area. We believe their emphasis on provocation results in an unsatisfactory problematization of discourse-based work with the result that there are significant problems with both their analysis of the liter…

  • Narrative, drama and charismatic leadership: The case of Apple’s Steve Jobs

    Open AccessAbz Sharma, David GrantARTICLELeadership2011Cited by: 8References: 17

    This article argues that a leader’s narrative and storytelling skills play a critical role in constructing their charismatic identity. In line with Goffman’s (1959) observations, we argue that these skills are effected through ‘stage management’: a segregation between back and front ‘performing regions’ that serves to minimise potential incursions, leaks, disruptions and faux pas that may undermine the leader’s performance. Further, we suggest th…

  • The Mythological State and its Empire

    David GrantBOOKMythological State and Its Empire2010

    We see the modern State as the most rational form of governing yet devised, and one which properly recognises our inherent individual rights. However, as the histories of colonialism and imprisonment reveal, it is also an intruder into the lives of generally unwilling individuals, constraining rights. This book looks beneath the contradiction to see an entity willingly sustained by all individuals and for which we forgo our responsibility to and …

  • The Social Construction of Leadership: A Sailing Guide

    Open AccessGail T Fairhurst, David GrantARTICLEManagement Communication Quarterly2010

    A growing body of literature now exists concerning the social construction of leadership. This literature draws on a variety of definitions of social constructionism, multiple constructs, and an array of perspectives, approaches, and methods. To identify and understand the differences among them, this article provides a sailing guide, comprising four key dimensions, to the social construction of leadership. It applies the guide to the social cons…

  • Exploring Nonresponse Bias in a Health Survey Using Neighborhood Characteristics

    Sung-Hee Lee, Sunghee Lee et al.ARTICLEAmerican Journal of Public Health2009Cited by: 9References: 12

    Objectives. We examined potential nonresponse bias in a large-scale, population-based, random-digit-dialed telephone survey in California and its association with the response rate. Methods. We used California Health Interview Survey (CHIS) data and US Census data and linked the two data sets at the census tract level. We compared a broad range of neighborhood characteristics of respondents and nonrespondents to CHIS. We projected individual-leve…
