Dr. Pippa Carter, who passed away in Hull (UK) on 6th February 2016, was an inspirational academic, a founder of the Standing Conference for Organisational Symbolism (SCOS), and always a warm and supportive friend to all of her students and colleagues.
She read for a BA in Comparative Government at the University of Essex, followed by an MA in Organisational Psychology at the University of Lancaster ten years later; she conducted Doctoral Research, first at Manchester Business School then at the University of Aston. Pippa lectured at the University of Hull for many years until she took early retirement in 2003; she then became an honorary fellow in the School of Management at Leicester.
Pippa was an inspirational lecturer. Former Masters and Doctoral students from the Hull University Business School in the early 1990s fondly remember her walking into lecture theatres with copies of DRAGON and introducing Foucault, post-structuralism/-modernism to an audience that, at the time, was more concerned with Total Quality Management and Management Systems. Many of those students attended SCOS, and even became members of the SCOS Board over the years that followed.
She had a wonderful working relationship with her partner Norman Jackson (also a Fellow at Leicester), with whom she presented several papers at SCOS and published a seminal work on Organisational Behaviour: Rethinking Organisational Behaviour: A Post-Structuralist Framework, Pearson FT. She also contributed to the development of Critical Management studies in the UK.
Her laughter and sense of humour were as contagious as the ideas she promoted, and her uncompromising style when it came to her beliefs was admired and respected. She enriched the lives of all who had the pleasure of meeting her. Pippa will be greatly missed.
If you would like to contact Norman directly, please email Martin Parker on m.parker@le.ac.uk.
The funeral will take place at 10.30am on Thursday, 18th February 2016 at Haltemprice Crematorium in Hull, followed by drinks in The Minerva, one of her favourite pubs, close to Hull Marina. All are welcome.
