I think there are some really interesting connections to consider, especially related to the theoretical distinction or overlap between what counts as a speech community and what counts as an organization. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">As far as EC studies go, here is a summary paragraph I wrote where I list some key EC studies in organizational contexts:</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><blockquote style="margin: 0 0 0 40px; border: none; padding: 0px;" class=""><div class="">The ethnography of communication provides a foundation for studying organizations in a culture-centered way. EC studies on organizations include cultural tensions at a U.S. television station (Carbaugh, 1988), interpersonal networks in an industrial Mexican organization (Covarrubias, 2002), trainings in an online language-learning for-profit (Hart, 2016), act structures in town hall meetings (Townsend, 2009), and narrative practice in Quaker meetings (Molina-Markham, 2012). Although these studies focused on organizational sites, they did not analyze specific processes of organizing or structural features of the organizations. Instead, the authors focused on each site as a unique speech community and explored the cultural dimensions of language use among members.</div></blockquote><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Two authors who specifically focused on the connections between EC and org comm theory are Peters and Ruud.
