Workplace bullying as sensemaking
This study explores the micro-level processes sustaining hostile workplace behaviour at the level of interactions between targets and actors. Drawing on Weick’s [1995. Sensemaking in Organizations. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage] sensemaking theory, the study examined how targets and actors of workplace bullying made sense of each other’s behaviours during first occasions of hostility. An analysis of collective biography stories of hostility in academia…
The Medical Humanities and the Perils of Curricular Integration
Subjectivity as a play of territorialization
In this paper the authors seek to contribute to a new ontology of an embodied, desiring subject through an exploration of their own subjectivities and of the ways in which subjectivities are produced and transformed through affective attachments to place. Using the method of collective biography (Davies, Gannon 2006) and drawing on Deleuze and Guattari’s concepts of desire and territorialization they examine their affective responses and attachme…
Violence and the Moral Order in Contemporary Schooling
A major strength of qualitative research is its capacity to re-theorise a particular field through examining the discursive constructions that underpin a particular body of research. The empirical research literature construes student violence generally, but bullying in particular, as a psychosocial problem arising from individual and family pathologies. In this article, drawing on the work of Foucault and Butler, we engage in a discursive analys…
Privileging of Speech in EAP and Mainstream University Classrooms
Perceptions of Asian students as silent have been widely debated in the disciplines of applied linguistics and education. These debates have been largely concerned with the extent to which essentialised notions of Japanese culture are in operation and the consequences for teaching and learning. The silences of students and the expectations of their teachers for speech have been viewed as a clash of perceptions and understandings based on intercul…
Undoing the Knots
In times of globalised flows of students, this paper offers an alternative way of conceptualising identity change in the experiences of students on study abroad or student exchange programmes. Despite the ‘identity turn’ of recent years, modernist notions of identity continue to impact on the ways in which study abroad experiences are conceived, resulting in failures both to facilitate productive change and to recognise blocked, or ‘knotted’, att…
Precarious Listening
This article attempts to hold thought open in a textual space that often forecloses thought. The authors present arguments but work them through poetry, memoir, pictures, and exposition. They frame this work in particular as an improvisation around-and intervention into-more familiar practices of collective biography, narrative, and art therapies and situate it as a new pedagogy for collective academic practice. The article emerged from a project…
On Coming Out and Coming Undone
In this article, I explore issues of sexuality and reflexivity in language education research practices by revisiting a section of an interview between myself as researcher and a student research participant. The research interview was from a larger ethnographic study on cultural identities in a second language program, and the student was a 20-year-old man from Japan who was studying English at an Australian university. My analysis reflects in d…
