ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the author autoethnographically explores her experiences of academic subjectification processes within the field of critical organization and management studies. Through poetic expression and three thematic questions about becoming a (never) good enough critical scholar, she reflects on the precarious identity work, body work, and writing work performative to her academic subject positionings and career path. In this, she engages with ongoing debates about academic subjectivity, power, and writing differently, as resources with which to think of and challenge subjectification processes of academic becoming that are dominated by certain ideals of critical scholarship within organization and management studies.
