From OOW Member, Dr Andi Pekarek in Australia:
Our stream for the EGOS conference in Denmark next year, ‘Organization Studies and Industrial Relations: Overlapping Concerns and New Possibilities,’ seeks to promote the dialogue between labour relations and wider scholarship in organisation studies. We are looking for a broad range of contributions and it would be great to have some more submissions from US colleagues.
Further details about the stream and the paper submission process can be found here:
SocArXiv, the open archive of social science, has just launched in beta version.

Stream: Heroes and heroism
