To highlight the ‘in-between’ aspects of organizational ethnography an alternative approach to traditional organizational ethnography is explored: inter-ethnography. This approach serves to destabilize the traditional notion of organizational ethnography as an individual and subjectivist project, as well as to escape the notion of a static field position from which the researcher – as observer or participant – learns about an organization’s culture. Inter-ethnography speaks in favour of a dynamic field presence in which the researchers’ cultural positions and understandings alter as they interact with different actors related to the studied organization. Inter-ethnography in this sense denotes a fundamental shift in epistemology: from individual beings to collective becoming. To illustrate the approach, we report from a doctoral course in qualitative methods that turned out to be a study of academic culture. The report progresses in a transparent manner from a realist account of the organizational setting via our confessions about our own learning processes to an impressionistic dialogue between us to inculcate that the ethnographic knowledge making process resides not only between writers of the text, but also between the writers and the readers. In this sense, our report represents an invitation to the reader to partake in the joint production of intersubjectivity.
