Building collaborative governance from scratch
This paper examines the dynamics of actors’ boundary work in collaborative governance. While widely studied, how actors navigate collaborative governance from its inception has been underexplored. Drawing on a longitudinal ethnographic study tracing actors’ struggles over boundaries in response to a collaboration mandate, this paper demonstrates (1) how the design (configurational boundary work) of collaborative governance inadvertently and somet…
Wild Pedagogies for Doing Multispecies Organizational Ethnography
Teaching and researching multispecies organizational ethnography needs a pedagogy that decentres the human animal and has a basic multisensorial approach to sensemaking in organizations, in order to try to do (more) justice to nonhuman sentience, animals, and plants, that is to be included in the research. A wild pedagogy claims that getting outdoors, and specifically avoiding lecture halls and other indoor spaces, raises awareness and skills in …

Breaking white silences in South African-Dutch collaboration in higher education
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to show the complex positionality and the complexity that comes with the study of whiteness in South African higher education by Dutch, white academics. This complexity stems from the long-standing relationship between Dutch universities, the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam (VUA) in particular, with their South African counterparts, which predominantly supported apartheid with reference to a shared religious (Prot…
Teachers making sense of result-oriented teams
Ethnographic strategies for making the familiar strange
Ethnographic fieldwork is a balancing act between distancing and immersing. Fieldworkers need to come close to meaningfully grasp the sense-making efforts of the researched. In methodological textbooks on ethnography, immersion tends to be emphasized at the expense of its counterpart. In fact, 'distancing' is often ignored as a central tenet of good ethnographic conduct. In this article we redirect attention away from familiarization and towards …
Traveling ideas
In an effort to embed diversity management in South African higher education, all Higher Education institutions are presently going through a transitional phase of transformation in which institutional cultures and identities are strongly contested. The ambiguity that comes along with such a process is illustrated through two rival “narratives of change” at North West University, presented in a number of reports and institutional publications tha…

Transformation as social drama
South African higher education is going through a transitional phase of transformation in which existing cultures and identities are strongly contested. The ambiguity and insecurity that come along with such a process are demonstrated in this article through presentation of two rival ‘narratives of change’ that can be found packed into a number of reports concerning the merger of universities that now form the North West University. Following Vic…

In search of a merged identity
South Africa's post-apartheid governments have taken far-reaching policy measures to transform the system of higher education, do away with its strongly segregated character, and develop an efficient and internationally recognised system that provides equal chances for all ethnic groups. Since 2002 higher education has become the explicit target of a government policy, geared to cultural development and intervention, including the enforcement of …
Window onto a world of waste
In the Western Cape a system has emerged in recent years where informal groupings of poor people make a living by recycling waste material in exchange for cash. There are several dynamic interfaces in this process and this short study highlights the relationships between the different actors—from the poor people who make a living by collecting waste through to the needs of the formal recycling organisation which increases its turnover and efficie…
Merging Identities, Reinventing Boundaries
This chapter presents a detailed study of a merging process of three Dutch Catholic organizations providing development aid. It is a story of how the deconstruction of boundaries between organizations provokes the reinvention of boundaries between different groups of people within the new organization. This story is put in the context of a society in which ideological boundaries between population groups gradually become less visible, but neverth…
