Visibilising (out) violence in academia through spiral dialoguing

Speakers

Sarah Robinson is Full Professor of Management and Organisation Studies at IÉSEG School of Management, Paris. Sarah studies organisational violence, the dark side of leadership and power, resistance, identity and socialisation within professional groups. She works on long-standing projects on academics’ wellbeing and experiences within the neoliberal university and is increasingly drawn to autobiography and writing differently as demonstrated by her co-edited book (Robinson, Bristow and Ratle 2023) Doing Academia Differently – Portraits of Academic Life.

Caroline Ruiller is Associate Professor in Human Resource Management at the University of Rennes (CREM CNRS UMR 6211), France. Caroline’s research bridges critical management studies, the ethics of care, and occupational health, focusing on workplace vulnerabilities, managerial practices in crisis contexts, and sustainable careers. As a committed advocate of alternative methodologies, her recent work explores collective auto-ethnography and alter-ethnography and collaborative co-writing as embodied tools to visibilize and resist systemic masculine norms and violence within the neoliberal academy.
