Open publisher page 11 citations

Abstract

This chapter proposes intersectional reflexivity as a means to strengthen critical autoethnography - the exploration of the self in connection with the broader context. Intersectional reflexivity is a developmental tool which can be used by gender, management and organisation scholars engaging in autoethnographic research to critically explore, express and interpret their intersecting identities, how these shape their lived experience and are determined by structures of power. Intersectional reflexivity can also help scholars gain insights through their autoethnographic work in order to more effectively navigate challenges in daily organisational life, and influence individual and organisational practices within their own institutions.
