Violence and value
There is a high prevalence of historic sexual abuse in institutions and organisations that have a duty of care towards children. Through a qualitative, abductive analysis of the evidential material submitted to the Religious Organisations and Settings investigation within the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse (IICSA) I theorise value frames for understanding how the perpetrators of child abuse may be privileged over victim-survivors wit…
Intersecting liminalities and transition rites
The Woman’s Voice by Patsy Rodenburg
Accountable Selves and Responsibility Within a Global Forum
This study examines the accountability of the self among sustainability and humanitarian advocates participating in the World Economic Forum. Drawing from Butler’s (Giving an account of oneself. Fordham University Press, New York, 2005) philosophy, we explore how these individuals narrate their accountability to themselves and others, the contradictions they experience, and how they explain becoming responsible in this context. Our data illustrat…
St Century Bridling
In this article I argue that non-disclosure agreements represent the latest in a continuum of tools used to silence women who seek justice in response to the misconduct of those in authority. I draw a connection between the use of these apparently objective, non-corporeal organizational processes and the historic use of the scold’s bridle, a corporeal instrument of control applied to physically silence. Specifically, I argue that both are on a co…
The murder of knowledge and the ghosts that remain
This paper conceptualizes the use of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) as a weapon of epistemic violence to kill the victims’ knowledge of instances of misconduct and discrimination in organizations. It is proposed that the death of this knowledge is not absolute, it becomes a ghostly presence that both haunts the victim and enables the victim to reclaim some epistemic justice by becoming a haunter, warning others of the threats that survive them.…
Reflections on front‐line medical work during Covid‐19 and the embodiment of risk
Drawing on the voice of a woman NHS front‐line doctor during the current COVID‐19 pandemic, we explore her lived experience of the embodiment of risk in the crisis. We explore her struggles and difficulties, giving her voice and mobilizing our writing to listen to these experiences, reflecting on them as a way of living our own feminist lives. Her story illustrates that the current crisis is not only a crisis of health, but a crisis for feminism.…
Entrepreneurial agency and field relations
This article addresses the problem of understanding and assessing how entrepreneurial and self-employed workers engage with economic fields as they pursue their interests. It considers the differing experiences of entrepreneurial workers by developing a transferable approach to studying the relations between their environments, practices and values. The approach developed combines Bourdieusian and critical realist scholarship to explore qualitati…
Being and becoming a “good” qualitative researcher? Liminality and the risk of limbo
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to re-conceptualise “good” qualitative research by discussing the intersection between “good” qualitative research and different identity states of “good” qualitative researcher. It uses the anthropological concept of liminality and related concept of limbo to help illustrate the implications of this intersection. Design/methodology/approach A reflexive and personal confessional account is provided of the auth…

Velleius Paterculus
Velleius Paterculus (19 BCE –31 CE ) was a Roman historian under the reign of Tiberius.
Conspiracy Theory in Latin Literature
Conspiracy theory as a theoretical framework has emerged only in the last twenty years; commentators are finding it a productive way to explain the actions and thoughts of individuals and societies. In this compelling exploration of Latin literature, Pagán uses conspiracy theory to illuminate the ways that elite Romans invoked conspiracy as they navigated the hierarchies, divisions, and inequalities in their society. By seeming to uncover conspir…
Our iceberg is melting’
This article offers two contrasting readings of the business novel Our iceberg is melting: Changing and succeeding under any conditions (J. Kotter and H. Rathgeber. 2005. Basingstoke: Pan Macmillan), which was written to advocate Kotter's approach to organisational change management. The orthodox reading draws on the modernist paradigm which assumes that organisational change can be actively managed. This reading analyses how the structure, theme…
Latin Secondary Education
Potential high school Latin teachers face a variety of obstacles, but they also stand to gain from earning state certification. Administrators and program coordinators likewise face serious obstacles to operating a Latin teacher training program. Potential Latin teachers can maximize their options by seeking dual certification; the profession however, must also do its part to support the training of high school Latin teachers. In the face of pres…
