Sub-theme title: Organising beyond hierarchy?
Big societal challenges such as the climate crisis, proliferating democracy deficits, intensifying casualisation and digitalisation of work and widening inequalities require rethinking the ways we organise to achieve change. Professions and professional organizations have often challenged established bureaucratic was of organizing and have provided alternatives such as partnerships and collegial forms, aiming to maintain high degrees of autonomy. In this stream, we invite you to think about organising beyond hierarchies in professional settings in the public, private or civil sectors and to ponder with us how alternative forms of organising might challenge or affirm the status quo, lead to or stagnate progress, advance or hinder equalities.
