Queer Theory and Autoethnography in Organizational Research - Reflections on Negotiating Closeting Processes as an Immigrant Scholar
Date: Wednesday, 10 April, 2024
Time: 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Delivery: Zoom
The Centre for Cross-Cultural Management (CCCM) hosted its 27th CCCM Conversation, which Associate Professor Jamie McDonald of the University of Texas at San Antonio will present.
At a time when migration policy is under the microscope in Australia, this CCCM conversation highlighted how immigrant scholars in the United States with different intersectional identities negotiate closeting processes in various societal and organizational contexts.
Jamie talked about the intersectional theory of closeting, which is rooted in queer theory, positioning the “closet” as a guiding metaphor for understanding how individuals negotiate the disclosure of identities that are non-normative, invisible, and stigmatized. After reviewing the contributions of queer theory to organizational research and the tenets of the intersectional theory of closeting, autoethnographic reflections will be offered. These autoethnographic reflections show how experiences of foreignness and (in)visibility are highly intertwined with multiple identities, including race, gender, sexuality, and national origin.
