ABSTRACT
Organizational autoethnography uses personal experience to “imagine more liberating organizational and cultural beliefs and practices” and to transform “personal stories into critical investigations and interventions about power, of difference, and for positive organizational change”. Disciplinary boundaries are socially constructed and need to be more porous. The author finds his delving deeply in anthropology and organizational anthropology, sociology and organizational sociology, and organizational communication. Change means re-writing the narratives of exceptionalism based on race, gender, class, or nationality, for the narrative of American exceptionalism is as onerous as the narrative of white supremacy. Change means overturning the taken-for-granted narrative of neoliberal economics, to one of economic justice.
