ABSTRACT
How can ‘transnational’ managerial practices be situated and, therefore, empirically examined? How can transnational feminist theory be analytically practiced by drawing attention to the politics of location and politics of knowledge production? This chapter grapples with these questions and proposes a methodology to situate empirical elements within the transnational management of nurses: a historically gendered and racialised occupation.
The methodology consists of Adele Clarke’s situational analysis (2005) and cartographic illustration of the elements in the situation of transnational management of nurses in the context of Finland, a Nordic welfare state. The chapter ends with personal reflections on the methodology and subsequent analysis through the recanting of the research journey.
