Amanda PETICCA HARRIS is an Associate Professor of Business Administration at Grenoble Ecole de Management since 2015. Her research investigates how neoliberal labour markets generate precarious working conditions that shape the lived experiences of marginalized workers. Drawing on over a decade of professional experience as a Senior HRM Director for multinational corporations in Canada, she leverages on-the-ground empirical insights about work and working to examine the discursive, embodied, and affective dimensions of work experiences—and how these are shaped by intersecting inequalities—across a diverse range of formal and informal organizational settings. She has published in leading journals such as Human Relations, Journal of Business Ethics, Organization, Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal, and Organizational Research Methods, among others.
Amanda specializes in qualitative methodology, with expertise in narrative, ethnographic, and visual methods. She teaches across MSc, MBA, DBA, and PhD programmes and currently serves as Programme Director for the MSc in International Human Resource Management. She is Associate Editor for Organization and Group & Organization Management, and sits on the editorial boards of New Technology, Work & Employment. She has co-edited Special Issues on precariousness and qualitative research, and frequently leads doctoral workshops and academic panels at international conferences such as EGOS and AoM.

Based on a thematic analysis of 7234 comments posted on the Yoga with Adriene YouTube channel in 2020, this study unpacks a technologically mediated practice of self-care, which we conceptualize as somametamnemata. Our findings illustrate three entangled aspects of somametamnemata relating to yoga, a form of bodywork: Caring about self through practicing yoga online; caring about self and others through sharing about yoga in written comments; and caring about self and others through responding to shared verbalizations of yoga. This study distinguishes somametamnemata from known practices of self-care, advancing existing literature on technologies of self by overcoming the dichotomy between negative views of ill-being and positive views of wellbeing. By situating the potentiality of individual wellbeing within ill-being, we shift debates and discussions of “corporate wellness” beyond organizational boundaries.
