Following on from our highly successful Summer Schools in 2013, 2014 and 2015, we are pleased to announce the 2017 Warwick Business School Advanced Workshop on Practice-based Studies.
The Workshop will take place from Monday 26 June to Thursday 29 June on the University of Warwick campus, Coventry, UK. Working in collaboration with the International Symposium Series on Process Organization Studies (PROS), the Workshop is envisioned as a key international forum for the development and advancement of practice-based studies in organization, management, administrative and policy studies. For this year's Advanced Workshop, as an extension of previous Summer Schools, we seek to engage a limited number of advanced PhD, early career researchers and junior faculty already familiar with the practice approach, and interested in exploring how it can be meaningfully developed going forward. We aim at in-depth discussion and collective learning around challenging questions, in an open and multidisciplinary space, purposefully in conversation with related disciplines and fields of study.
Confirmed keynote speakers for this year's Workshop are Joseph Rouse (Hedding Professor of Moral Science and Professor of Philosophy at Wesleyan University, USA) and Matt Watson (Senior Lecturer in Human Geography, University of Sheffield, UK). In attendance and contributing to interactive sessions will be members of the WBS Practice, Process and Institutions (PPI) Programme and 'friends' of the Workshop, including Jörgen Sandberg and Juliane Reinecke. The School is directed by Maja Korica, with Davide Nicolini and Hari Tsoukas as co-founders and scientific leads.
Applications (see attached flyer or the website at warwick.ac.uk/go/ikon/events/awpbs) should be submitted to dawn.coton@wbs.ac.uk no later than Sunday 5 March 2017. Successful applicants will be notified by Monday 13 March 2017.
We look forward to receiving your applications, and to hopefully seeing you at Warwick in June.
Best wishes,
Maja Korica, Davide Nicolini, and Hari Tsoukas
