EGOS 2017 Copenhagen: Pre-Conference Professional Development Workshop on Marxism and organization studies
Wednesday July 5, 2017; 09:00 to 13:00

Note: This announcement was updated on March 29th to incorporate adjustments made to the application requirements. These adjustments are meant to make the workshop more accessible to both graduate students and faculty. 

Convenors:
Paul S. Adler
University of Southern California

Yrjö Engeström

Email: yrjo.engestrom@helsinki.fi

Purpose:
This PDW aims to offer interested faculty and doctoral students an opportunity to explore how Marxist ideas can enrich organization studies and the associated empirical research.

Marxist theory has a long history of engagement with the field of organization studies (see Adler 2009 for an overview) and EGOS has hosted a Marxist organization studies sub-theme in each of the previous five years (leading to the publication of several papers in a forum in Organization Studies April 2015). But there are not many opportunities available to faculty and students who want to learn more about this approach and discuss with others how it might help them in their own research. This PDW aims to fill that gap.
