Reframing Disability With Digital Advocacy
Through comparative research, we examine how disabled digital social entrepreneurs, Alex Dacy and Jessica Kellgren‐Fozard, employ emotional engagement on Instagram to reshape perceptions of disability. Drawing on Ahmed's (2004) concept of affective economies, we analyse how affect is mobilised to foster audience engagement and cultivate digital communities. Through a visual narrative analysis of their top‐performing 2023 Instagram posts, we ident…
Orchestration of Care
Neoliberal healthism and women’s entrepreneurial subjectivities in yoga
Women entrepreneurs have long encountered the neoliberal expectation to perform as ideal subjects by exhibiting an enterprising femininity. However, existing critical literature on women’s entrepreneurship has largely overlooked how health and wellbeing discourses permeate enterprising ideals and impact one’s subjectivity. This qualitative study explores how 41 women entrepreneurs construct an enterprising subjectivity through neoliberal healthis…
Care in crisis
In this essay, we draw on two reflective interviews with Yosh, leader of the Ukrainian gender-based activist organization Feminist Workshop, illustrating her views on providing care-based services to displaced women during the full-scale invasion by Russia. Situating the interviews within the scholarly literature on care and the contemporary realities of the Russia/Ukraine war, we surface Yosh’s experiences and her consideration of more disruptiv…
Intersectionality and precarious subjectivities
This Special Issue draws on intersectionality to explore how interlocking forms of discrimination and marginalisation culminate to produce, structure and sustain precarious subjectivities within and beyond neoliberal workplaces, and how subjects cope with or resist them. This collection brings together studies across diverse time-space configurations and social groups/labouring bodies – queer NGO activists in China, middle-class women writers dur…
Truly, madly, deeply
I am because I have to be
Our qualitative study delves into the life history of a mother‐worker caring for two neurodiverse children, surfacing how the intensive mental load of balancing domestic and professional responsibilities permeates and shapes her identity. Employing narrative analysis and photovoice methods, we investigate how she navigates the logistical and emotional complexities in both roles across three distinct storytelling events: storying (mis)diagnoses , …
YouTube’s Yoga with Adriene as a somametamnemata
Drawing on the Foucauldian technologies of the self, this study explores how individuals re-envision practices of wellbeing outside of traditional organizational contexts during extreme events. Based on a thematic analysis of 7234 comments posted on the Yoga with Adriene YouTube channel in 2020, this study unpacks a technologically mediated practice of self-care, which we conceptualize as somametamnemata. Our findings illustrate three entangled a…
Postcapitalist precarious work and those in the ‘drivers’ seat
In this inductive, qualitative study, we observe how Uber, a company often hailed as being the poster-child of the sharing economy facilitated through a digital platform may also at times represent and reinforce postcapitalist hyper-exploitation. Drawing on the motivations and lived experiences of 31 Uber drivers in Toronto, Canada, we provide insights into three groups of Uber drivers: (1) those that are driving part-time to earn extra money in …

Managing compassionately? Managerial narratives about grief and compassion
How do you manage a team following the death of an employee? This article explores this question and inquires if managerial responses to suffering can be compassionate with a decentralized team structure, in the restaurant industry where employees are faced with a high degree of emotional labour. To date, the compassion process has suggested that a focal actor, often a manager, first must notice suffering, then must feel empathic concern, and act…
Globalization, academic knowledge interests and the global careers discourse
Purpose This paper aims to present two objectives. The first objective is to identify the academic knowledge interests (managerial, agentic, curatorial and critical) prevalent in research on global careers. The second objective is to consider and critique the discourse constructed and perpetuated in academic texts on global careers concerning globalization, global careers and the global careerist. Design/methodology/approach Using a critical disc…
The perils of project-based work
This article examines two blogs written by the spouses of game developers about extreme and exploitative working conditions in the video game industry and the associated reader comments. The wives of these video game developers and members of the game community decry these working conditions and challenge dominant ideologies about making games. This article contributes to the work intensification literature by challenging the belief that long hou…
