    "Sociological Thinking in Contemporary Organizational Scholarship"

    The new Volume of Research in the Sociology of Organizations is out - OPEN ACCESS.

    Edited by Stewart Clegg, Michael Grothe-Hammer, and Kathia Serrano Velarde.

    The Volume explores the new boundaries of organizational sociology. It sets out to map a community of scholars that transcends disciplinary limitations by following one simple epistemic logic: society happens in, between, across, and around organizations.

    We are deeply grateful for the fantastic contributions we received, and we are especially honored that our volume includes an inspiring piece by the greatly missed Barbara Czarniawska.

    Here the link to the full Open Access Volume: https://www.emerald.com/insight/publication/doi/10.1108/S0733-558X202490

    We hope you'll enjoy reading our Volume!

    Best regards,

    Stewart, Michael, and Kathia
