The Woes of Implementation Practice: Getting Caught by the “Program of the Month”
Get PDFSenior leaders from a large American hospital told me that they wanted their hospital to become more “patient-centric” and asked me to help them. I was hired to conduct an ethnographic study of the hospital with a team of six employees and the goal of improving patient experiences. Sixteen months later, the research was completed, effective models of hospital work practices documented, recommendations made, and 16 tools developed to improve hospital culture. Yet none of our work was implemented. I returned to my field notes to discover clues that might explain why. This article explains the process I followed, the stories that revealed unwanted messages, the transcripts that enabled sensemaking, and the program-of-the-month cycle that prevented implementation from occurring.

Round Table Discussion with Lynne Huffer, Steven Ogden, Paul Patton, and Jana Sawicki
Get PDFJoanna Crosby and Dianna Taylor: The theme of this special section of Foucault Studies, “Foucauldian Spaces,” emerged out of the 2016 meeting of the Foucault Circle, where the four of you were participants. Each of the three individual papers contained in the special section critically deploys and/or reconceptualizes an aspect of Foucault’s work that engages and offers particular insight into the construction, experience, and utilization of space. We’d like to ask the four of you to reflect on what makes a space Foucauldian, and whether or not (and why or why not) you’d consider the space created by the convergence of and intellectual exchanges among an international group of Foucault scholars at the University of New South Wales in the summer of 2016 to be Foucauldian
Chocolate Suburb, Vanilla Power: Race, Space and Civil Unrest in Ferguson
Get PDFIn this article, I argue that the demographic and political restructuring of city−suburb dynamics in the United States is key to understanding what happened in Ferguson, Missouri, in the summer of 2014. Ferguson, a once-vanilla suburb where the overwhelming majority of residents were white Americans, was deterritorialized from the 1970s onward into a suburb where black Americans became the majority group. However, the whites, as a demographic minority, were still in control and tried to reterritorialize the black suburb. I maintain that the inevitable result of this disjunction between the chocolate suburb and vanilla power was racial antagonism, which exploded in Ferguson in 2014
Bæredygtighed – århundredets største udfordring og mulighed
Get PDFEn kollega og jeg mødtes tilfældigt en efterårsdag for nogle år siden på havnen i Skagen. Tæt ved os lå et kæmpestort fartøj, en forvokset fiskekutter, som var så stor som en fabrik. Og det var en sejlende fabrik, der kunne fange så mange fisk i døgnet, at man kun kan have ondt af fiskene. Handelen med fiskekvoter har gjort nogle EU-fiskere til mangemillionærer - uden at de har gjort nogen særlig indsats – ud over at være til stede på det rigtige tidspunkt. Alt sammen i den såkaldt frie konkurrences hellige navn. Vi taler om kvotekonger og om storfiskerklubber, der angiveligt støtter regeringspartiet Venstres fiskeriordfører og statsministeren med nogle af deres millioner, og i foråret 2017 var kvotekongerne og deres kvotekoncentration ligefrem ved at koste den ansvarlige minister jobbet. ”Storfiskersag har sendt minister i stormvejr”, hed en overskrift. En anden lød: ”Kvotekonge pumpede formue i venstreordførers firma”. Vi vekslede nogle ord om disse fiskefartøjer, der har skabt en ny virkelighed for både fisk og fiskere verden over. Global overfiskning er en realitet
