Biography:

John McClellan (PhD, University of Colorado at Boulder) studies the discursive qualities of organizing with attention to issues of knowledge, identity, collaboration, and change. With an interest in communicative approaches for living and working together in an increasingly pluralistic society, his research explores collaborative practices that might enable creative decision-making and mutually-beneficial, sustainable ways of organizing. As a former organizational change strategy consultant, his research attends to organizing discourses that simultaneously enable and constrain opportunities to transform the ways we understand and engage organizational life.
