Jill Taylor

Dr Jill Fenton Taylor's research interests lie with with contemporary thinking around (auto) ethnography and practice.

Jill's work embraces understanding organisation as a multi-voice entanglement of storytelling practices and narrative discourses.

Current projects are focusing on forms of practitioner reflexivity as an approach to organizational change. These are collaborative and transformative undertakings that locate the researcher differently.  Inquirers view themselves as sites for the research with readers being encouraged to enter a conversation, around a set topic or theme, by recalling and questioning their own stories. A fluid text emerges to stimulate new perspectives as researchers, and their readers, come to see themselves differently though the eyes of another (Norris & Sawyer, 2016, p. 11)

Jill is supervising PhD students who are studying organisational ethnography.
