**With apologies for cross posting**

Dear colleagues,

Following on from highly successful events in the last two years, we are pleased to announce the 3rd annual Warwick Business School International Summer School on Practice-Based Studies. The title for this edition is "Conceptual and methodological advances in practice-based studies".

This year's School is taking place from August 31 to September 4 on the University of Warwick campus, Coventry, UK. Working in collaboration with the International Symposium Series on Process Organization Studies (PROS), the School is envisioned as a key international forum for the study, development and promotion of practice-based studies in organization, administrative and policy sciences.

For its third edition, the School aims to engage a limited number of 'advanced studies' participants, already familiar with the practice approach and interested in further exploring this topic in a multidisciplinary, inclusive and open setting. In particular, the programme has been designed with a view toward facilitating in-depth discussion and collective learning.

Confirmed faculty for this year's edition include Theodore Schatzki (University of Kentucky, USA), Laurent Thevenot (EHESS, France), Paula Jarzabkowski (Cass Business School, City University London, UK), and Stephen Kemmis (Charles Stuart University, Australia). The School is directed by Davide Nicolini, Maja Korica and Hari Tsoukas, and supported by a Scientific Advisory Committee that includes some of the most prominent scholars in the field (for full list, please see the website).

Abstracts should be submitted to dawn.coton@wbs.ac.uk no later than 8 May 2015. For further information, please visit the School website: http://warwick.ac.uk/isspbs

Best wishes,

Davide Nicolini, Maja Korica and Hari Tsoukas
