There is by now a strong body of research addressing workplace discourse as a site and focus. There is however also a disconnect between studies and scholars despite shared research interests, influences by the same paradigm shifts, complementary methodological traditions and so on. In this talk, I aim to problematize established traditions for the linguistic study of the workplace and dominant assumptions that underpin our research designs as well as inferencing processes. I probe the politics of research (Angouri, 2018) and make a case for moving towards multidisciplinary holistic enquiry. I draw on ongoing and completed projects and reflect on what this may mean in practice.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: Calibri, sans-serif, serif, EmojiFont\"><strong>Jo Angouri<\/strong> is Reader and Director of Undergraduate Studies in Applied Linguistics at the University of Warwick, UK and a Visiting Distinguished Professor at Aalto University, School of Business.
