We Have to Be Allies to the Allies: Social Activists' Emotional Labor in Interactions With Allies
Extensive research has examined how social movements use emotions to mobilize participants and sustain commitment among beneficiaries of the movement, those who belong to the marginalized groups the movement serves. Less is known about the emotional means through which social movements mobilize and retain allies, who are insiders who actively work to achieve the movement's goals yet are also members of dominant society who benefit from the very s…
A Vitapolitics Frame: How Trans Activists Make Sense of Trans Lives in Interactions with Allies
This study explored how activists frame their lived experience in the context of a social movement that uses suffering as a key frame, and the implications of this framing for their relationships with allies. Suffering can garner support for marginalized groups, yet the resulting allyship can be patronizing. In an interview study of 41 trans social movement activists, we found that they resist the simplicity of the suffering frame and the 'vulner…
“I don’t need advice but I will take it”: Allied labor in transgender allyship
Allies play an important role in virtually every fight to end oppression, yet are often criticized by those they are allied with for reinforcing binaries and recreating colonial models of saviorism that maintain their relative social power. I refer to the potential of allies to both help and harm those they are allied with as the “ally paradox.” I analyze the clip “Janet Mock Rejoins Piers Morgan” from February 2014 to identify the issues at the …
A woman’s got to be what a woman’s got to be? How managerial assessment centers perpetuate gender inequality
Why do women receive equal or better performance ratings than men in managerial assessment centers even when they are structured in ways that systematically disadvantage them? This study provides the first attempt to understand this managerial assessment center gender paradox using in-depth interviews with managerial assessment center evaluators for a large semi-military governmental organization. The study revealed that the managerial assessment…

A sensemaking lens on reliability
This study assessed the applicability of current theories of reliability in dynamic settings by exploring the sensemaking processes experienced by a sample of medical residents around lapses in reliability of patient care. Important differences in lapses surfaced, particularly with respect to whether actors were aware that a lapse was occurring in real‐time and whether there was anything they could do or say to mitigate or prevent the lapse. In o…
Reflections on the Looking Glass: A Review of Research on Feedback-Seeking Behavior in Organizations
This paper presents and organizes the results of two decades of research on feedback-seeking behavior according to three motives: the instrumental motive to achieve a goal, the ego-based motive to protect one’s ego, and the image-based motive to enhance and protect one’s image in an organization. Each motive is discussed with reference to its impact on the frequency of feedback seeking, seeking method (whether by inquiry or monitoring), timing of…
