https://orgtheory.wordpress.com/2008/05/13/bourdieuian-organizational-studies

The real Bourdieu, the sociologist interested in power dynamics and culture, is less often found in our American theories of organizations. This point is made strongly by Mustafa Emirbayer and Victoria Johnson in a recent paper published in. 8220;Bourdieu and organizational analysis.”. In the organization, as in the world beyond, the analysis ...

Organizations and the politics of “good” work. On the EPA’s complicated relationship with “public comments”– the political stakes here are high. In presenting my research on public engagement consultants and how they make sense of their everyday work to bring democracy inside powerful bureaucracies, audience members have a tendency to want to label top-down public engagement as universally bad or good. Is it an empowering win-win for all involved? Or is it just cooptation? 8212; sometimes at the same time.

Let the conversation begin! Thanks to Katherine for inviting me back to blog a bit on Do-It-Yourself Democracy. And other projects on my plate. I promise I won’t bring up federal agency mascots.

What are scholars’ responsibilities to the communities we study? Anniversary of some of the first documented cases of HIV/AIDS upon us, it is definitely a time for reflection on the epidemic, the medical and social advances made in our understanding of the disease, and the long way we still have to go in eradicating the epidemic. It raises the question: what are our responsibilities as scholars to the communities we study? Being a servant-scholar also takes a fair amount of time. We have existing com...
