Dear OMT colleagues,
Organization Theory is establishing a new special themed section - 'Catalyzing & Crystallizing' - and invites proposals by potential guest editors that fall within the aims and scope of the journal. A variety of forms of contribution are welcomed, including conventional academic theory papers and scholarly essays. The first of these new special themed sections will be published in 2027, and they will become a regular feature of the journal once or twice per calendar year.
In creating Catalyzing & Crystallizing, Organization Theory is seeking to promote scholarly engagement with novel and innovative ways of organizational theorizing that are thought-provoking, agenda-setting, and forward-looking, thereby crystallizing nascent and emerging new ways of thinking about organization, organizing, the organized, and organization-society relations. It also welcome proposals that aim at catalyzing current understandings and ideas in ways that bring fresh perspectives to bear or offer a new coherence from which novel explorations may proceed. Proposals should explicitly challenge existing conventions and push the boundaries of theoretical knowledge in our domain of scholarly inquiry.
For more information on the aim of the special themed section and instructions on developing a Catalyzing & Crystalizing proposal, please download the Call for Proposals attached.
Deadline: March 15, 2026
