Sensemaking in Crisis and Change: Inspiration and Insights from Weick (1988) (2010, background): “Finally, there are indications from research on meaning making that individuals’ subjective experience of their bodies provides important bodily cues for meaning making about work (Heaphy, 2006; Heaphy and Dutton, 2008).”
