Call for abstracts!
Deadline for submission of abstracts (max. 300 words) is November 12, 2020, 24:00 GMT
Because of the ongoing pandemic, the ISA Forum of Sociology is going digital. The ISA Research Committee on Sociology of Organizations (RC17) has re-opened calls for abstracts and invites you to submit. The ISA Forum of Sociology of the International Sociological Association offers a unique forum to discuss current developments with a global scholarship.
In particular, the Research Committee on Sociology of Organizations (RC17) invites submissions on the following topics:
- Collaborative Management between State Organizations and Civil Society
(organized by Adriana FASSIO & Maria Gabriela RUTTY) - Organized Collective Action: Building Bridges from Social Movements and Formal Organizations
(organized by Thiago PIMENTEL) - Sociology of Organizations: Contributions from Latin América
(organized by Karem SANCHEZ DE ROLDAN & Oscar Iván VÁSQUEZ-RIVERA) - The Continuing Relevance of Bureaucratic Organization
(organized by Paul DU GAY, Thomas LOPDRUP- HJORTH, & Pedro MONTEIRO)
Note that there will be an additional session on “Writing for Publication in Organization Studies”. In this session at least two experienced organizational sociologists, Paul du Gay (Copenhagen Business School) and Robert van Krieken (University of Sydney), will outline the most important aspects of their experience of writing for the publication in organization studies, and they will provide helpful advice in response to questions that session participants raise about difficulties and obstacles that they might have encountered. Anyone interested in publishing organizational sociology is welcome to attend this session and engage in discussion with the presenters (no application needed).
There will also be many other regular, common, joint, and professional development sessions that anyone can attend during the conference. For more information about the 4th ISA Forum of Sociology, please visit:
