Speaker: Dr. Carolyn Ellis,
an internationally renowned scholar of autoethnography
For registered participants, we will circulate an autoethnographic piece of work that Dr. Ellis wrote and invite webinar participants to respond to the piece and have a discussion during the webinar. Dr. Ellis would like to introduce autoethnography and talk about writing this piece, and then do a Q&A. The article is about her experience chairing an academic department and how at the end she had to “call her spirit back.” It demonstrates the use of autoethnography to understand management issues (i.e., workplace mobbing and rebellion) in relation to emotionality and spirituality.
