Este artigo se propõe, a partir de um ponto de vista feminista crítico negro e interseccional, tecer algumas considerações sobre o impacto, desconfianças e questionamentos que surgiram quando duas mulheres se propuseram a ministrar um curso de férias intitulado "Introdução aos estudos de masculinidades". A partir da descrição da turma, dos nossos objetivos enquanto docente, da nossa localização enquanto pesquisadoras e sujeitos, iremos abordar as noções que os e as estudantes tinham quando se matricularam no curso ou quando faziam suas falas no espaço das aulas. Para tanto, começaremos nos localizando enquanto sujeitos e pesquisadoras, bem como o trabalhos que temos desenvolvido nos últimos cinco anos; posteriormente, traremos uma descrição de quem eram os e as estudantes e o que havia levado cada um deles e delas até ali; traçaremos, em seguida, uma breve retomada histórica dos estudos de masculinidades, explicando quais foram os caminhos que decidimos percorrer e como fizemos nossas escolhas de autores e autoras para compor o curso; após analisar exercício de escrita feito pelos estudantes no último dia de aula, nós teceremos algumas considerações que buscarão conectar os diferentes pontos abordados no decorrer do artigo. Como considerações importantes a serem feitas é crucial apontarmos o autoflagelo e a dificuldade que as e os educandos tinham quando precisavam falar de situações que entendiam não fazer parte de seus "lugares de fala". Buscando não ignorar, mas tentando não esvaziar significativos debates contemporâneos sobre lugar de fala, representatividade e protagonismo, construíremos no artigo a necessidade de saída do autoflagelo, do congelamento dos debates e a importância de nos pautarmos por debates feitos dialogicamente e a partir de locais múltiplos.

Feminist organization theories develop knowledge about how organizations and processes of organizing shape and are shaped by gender, in intersection with race, class and other forms of social inequality. The politics of knowledge within management and organization studies tend to marginalize and silence feminist theorizing on organizations, and so the field misses out on the interdisciplinary, sophisticated conceptualizations and reflexive modes of situated knowledge production provided by feminist work. To highlight the contributions of feminist organization theories, I discuss the feminist answers to three of the grand challenges that contemporary organizations face: inequality, technology and climate change. These answers entail a systematic critique of dominant capitalist and patriarchal forms of organizing that perpetuate complex intersectional inequalities. Importantly, feminist theorizing goes beyond mere critique, offering alternative value systems and unorthodox approaches to organizational change, and providing the radically different ways of knowing that are necessary to tackle the grand challenges. The paper develops an aspirational ideal by sketching the contours of how we can organize for intersectional equality, develop emancipatory technologies and enact a feminist ethics of care for the human and the natural world.

The English language teaching (ELT) field has undergone transformations regarding its views on knowledge and language. Although instrumental perspectives situate English teachers in a passive, receptive and technical position, their research and pedagogical work displays an interest in extracurricular phenomena about Peace Construction (PC) in ELT. This qualitative exploratory study aimed at unveiling possible connections between PC and ELT in Colombia. Documental revision and semi-structured interviews were applied with 4 English teachers. Findings discuss an organic metaphor as facilitating “teachers’ situated knowledge construction” (Serna, 2018, p. 585). Thus, a critical reflection is developed on how ELT and PC may articulate one another towards an alternative reading on their possible relationality or the reduction of the canonical distance imagined between these two fields, in order to acknowledge their interconnection. Conclusions around the multifaceted transdisciplinary ELT field are presented.

Technical consulting plays an increasingly important role in developing and transferring knowledge in a wide range of industries and sectors. We present a case study of Swift Tech, a leading Scandinavian technical consulting firm, to identify and assess the importance of knowledge cycling—a knowledge process based on scheduled and recurrent rotation of technical consultants among organizational and problem-solving contexts. Our study identifies four main phases of knowledge cycling: entering an assignment, building experience, contributing to the project, and shifting to a new assignment. These phases underpin our model of knowledge cycling, which demonstrates that two aspects of local knowledge processes are critical: project task familiarization and project organization familiarization. We show that knowledge cycling relies on a dynamic interaction between client organization, consulting firm, and individual consultant in the ongoing transfer of knowledge among distinct contexts and communities. Knowledge cycling demonstrates the significance of “mobile knowledge” for the development of situated knowledge; hence, our results have important implications for situated learning theory.

The chapter introduces the reader to selected frames that are valuable in work on gender and political representation: embodiment, authenticity, and performative labor of (especially symbolic) representation. The chapter illustrates the dominant scripts of political representation and appeals to situated knowledge during claim-making in the Indian national parliament; the policing of gendered and religious behavioral scripts for authentic representation of minority women in Indian politics; salient intersections of caste, gender, and embodiment in the performance of symbolic representation in the election of India’s first female Speaker in Parliament; and more localized scripts of performing gender in party political spaces. It discusses the performances of women legislators in institutional and noninstitutional spaces with the aim of illustrating the intellectual and practical merits of applying a performance-based approach to analyzing gender and politics.
