“Sociological Thinking in Contemporary Organizational Scholarship”
Edited by Stewart Clegg, Michael Grothe-Hammer, and Kathia Serrano Velarde.

This New Volume of Research in the Sociology of Organizations is Now Out! Available via OPEN ACCESS.

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.
We hope you’ll enjoy reading our Volume!”
-Stewart, Michael, and Kathia
