Politics Even Closer to Home: Repositioning CME from the Standpoint of Communication Studies

This essay aims to bring politics closer to home in two main ways. First, we address geographical and disciplinary spaces and identities in order to propose a fruitful `breeding ground' for critical management education (CME) in the US context: organizational and instructional communication studies. Second, we engage recent calls for self-reflexivity among CME scholars, re-directing the critical lens from `mainstream' management education to political dynamics embedded in our own practices. As we articulate possibilities for both institutional, theoretical and practical collaboration, we emphasize how CME and communication scholars might work together to illuminate and transform embodied relations of difference.

Key Words: classroom interaction • CME • CMS • critical pedagogy • organizational and instructional communication studies • power identity and difference (specifically gender race class sexuality) • reflexivity • textbooks • text-conversation dialectic
