*sorry for cross-postings*
Dear Colleagues,
I want to draw your attention to an international workshop co-organised by Warwick Business School and the University of Zurich focusing on:
"Connections in Action: Keeping Track of Large Social Phenomena using Relational and 'Micro-sociological' approaches"
The workshop will take place at the University of Warwick, Coventry on 5 & 6 December 2016 and is kindly sponsored by Society for the Advancement of Management Studies (SAMS), linked to the Journal of Management Studies (JMS) .
The workshop brings together scholars who explore how we can account for and keep track of large phenomena (e.g., financial markets, climate change) utilising existing and new 'micro-sociological' and relational approaches in organisation studies. The aims of the workshop are to (1) advance theorizing about large social phenomena, (2) re-imagine the methods of inquiry in a way that they are more productive in dealing with the complexity of contemporary organizing, (3) exchange about the challenges in doing this kind of research and (4) develop exemplary studies that pave the way for a new stream of research. The workshop will be speculative in character with the intent to learn from each other and generate new ideas through dialogue and listening.
The attached flyer provides full details for the event which includes information about the application and registration process. This information can also be found on this website http://www.warwick.ac.uk/go/ikon/events/connections
The deadline for applications is September 15th.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Best regards,
Katharina
