While prior research describes early career researchers{\textquoteright} isolation in their institutions, we theorize early career researchers{\textquoteright} isolation in their academic fields and reveal how they attempt to mitigate isolation to improve their career prospects. Using a collaborative autoethnographic approach, we generate and analyze a dataset focused on the experiences of ten early career researchers in a globalizing business academic field known as Consumer Culture Theory. We identify bricolage practices, polycentric governance practices, and integration mechanisms that work to enhance early career researchers{\textquoteright} perceptions of agency and consequently mitigate their academic isolation. Our findings extend discussions on isolation and its role in new academic careers. Early career researchers, in particular, can benefit from a deeper understanding of practices that can enable them to mitigate isolation and reclaim agency as they engage with global academic fields.}, keywords = {Marketing}, author = {Brouard,Myriam and Belkir,Meriam and Brunk,Katja and Dalmoro,Marlon and Ferriera,Maria Christina and Figueirdo,Bernardo and Huff,Aimee and Scaraboto,Daiane and Sibai,Olivier and Smith,Andrew} } @article {1979306, title = {Isolation in Globalizing Academic Fields: A Collaborative Autoethnography of Early Career Researchers}, year = {2019}, month = {2019}, address = {Boston}, keywords = {Marketing}, author = {Belkhir,Meriam and Brouard,Myriam and Brunk,Katja H. and Campana,Mario and Dalmoro,Marlon and Ferreira,Marcia Christina and Figueiredo,Bernardo and Huff,Aimee and Scaraboto,Daiane and Sibai,Olivier and Smith,Andrew} } @article {1979321, title = {Isolation in Emerging Fields: The Case of Entrant Actors in an Emerging Academic Field}, year = {2017}, month = {2017}, address = {Anaheim, CA}, keywords = {Marketing}, author = {Belkhir,Meriam and Brouard,Myriam and Brunk,Katja H. and Campana,Mario and Dalmoro,Marlon and Ferreira,Marcia Christina and Figueiredo,Bernardo and Huff,Aimee and Scaraboto,Daiane and Sibai,Olivier and Smith,Andrew} } @article {1979326, title = {From Fish Tank to the Open Ocean: Navigating the Institutional Field of CCT}, year = {2016}, month = {2016}, address = {Lille, France}, keywords = {Marketing}, author = {Belkhir,Meriam and Brouard,Myriam and Brunk,Katja H. and Campana,Mario and Dalmoro,Marlon and Ferreira,Marcia Christina and Figueiredo,Bernardo and Huff,Aimee and Scaraboto,Daiane and Sibai,Olivier and Smith,Andrew} }
