    The EGOS Standing Working Group (SWG) 11 on "Time and Organization Studies: Navigating Change, Emergence & Complexity" invites colleagues to explore how weaving creativity, craft and time can go a long way in organization studies. We see this as an opportunity to connect old and new friends of the SWG already before its official launch in 2026 with sub-theme/SWG 11 on "Time and Organization Studies: Tracing and Crafting the Materiality of Time" at the 4nd EGOS Colloquium 2026.
     
    In this PDW, we ask each participant to 'bring' their research project to the workshop as well as a personal object that represents a creative process, event and/or outcome to which they feel connected. Using both projects and creative objects as imaginative springboard and material tools to 'noticing differently' (see, for example, Simpson & Revsbaek, 2022), we will collectively explore how creativity and craft research can be further advanced with a temporal lens, and how our understanding of time and temporality can be expanded through studying creative processes and crafting.

    The PDW is open to scholars at any career stage who are interested in creativity, craft and/or time research. Doctoral students as well as junior and senior faculty are particularly encouraged to submit their ideas.
     
    Interested participants should submit – via the EGOS website – by April 30, 2025 a single document of application (.docx or .pdf file) that includes the following information:

    • A short summary (0.5–1 page) of a current or future project that relates to research on creativity, craft and/or time and some of the theoretical and methodological struggles you have experienced. Please include full details of name, affiliation, and email address.

    • Indication of preference for facilitators.

    Facilitators:

    Miriam Feuls, Copenhagen Business School, Denmark
    Daniel Hjorth, Lund University, Sweden
    Piera Morlacchi, University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom
    Birke Otto, Leuphana University Lüneburg, Germany
    Yutaka Yamauchi, Kyoto University, Japan
