Researching and Writing Differently
In a neoliberal academia dominated by masculine ideals of measurement and performance, it is becoming more important than ever to develop alternative ways of researching and writing.
This powerful new book gives voice to non-conforming narratives, suggesting innovative, messy and nuanced ways of organizing the reading and writing of scholarship in management and organization studies. In doing so it spotlights how different methods and approaches can represent voices of inequality and reveal previously silenced topics.
Informed by feminist and critical perspectives, this will be an invaluable resource for current and future scholars in management and organization studies and other social sciences.
"Personal, political, sensitive, provocative and honest. A reflexive feminist exploration into the multifaceted world of writing differently. Strongly recommended for all researchers interested in learning, unlearning, questioning and unsettling normative conventions of researching, writing and knowing organizations. An inspiring read!" Emmanouela Mandalaki, NEOMA Business School
“A wise and beautiful book, which carries more than just knowledge – it is a source of energy. It is a book that makes us want to read more, write more and calculate less. There is an alternative, and this is how we do it! We can write differently, read differently, and it makes such a splendid difference.” Monika Kostera, University of Warsaw
