Item 1:
Call for papers for the 2nd Workshop on Leadership, Diversity and Inclusion at Copenhagen Business School (CBS) 26-27 May 2016
To follow up on the successful Workshop on Leadership, Diversity, and Inclusion held at CBS in December 2014, CBS Public-Private Platform research cluster on Diversity & Difference invites you to the 2nd Workshop to be held at CBS in May 2016. This time the focus will be on inclusive leadership. Inclusive leadership has become the new buzz word in diversity management as recent diversity studies suggests that managing diversity is not enough: companies must also become inclusive (Oswick and Noon 2012) if they want to retain and develop a diverse workforce. Burnett (2005) and Roberson (2006) argue that whereas diversity concerns the value of differences within the workforce and how to manage these differences for commercial advantage, inclusion stresses the need to understand the processes that incorporate differences into business practices and thereby realize the value of a diverse workforce (Oswick and Noon 2012). In the same vein, diversity management has been criticized for being nothing but a phantasmagoria (Schwabenland and Tomlinson 2015) that at best is bewildering, and at worst is directly dehumanizing – turning employees with minority backgrounds into objectified resources for exploitation rather than dignified subjects of exploration (Zanoni and Janssens 2004, Hunter and Swan 2007). But what does this mean in connection to equality and promoting diversity and acceptance of differences in organisations? The notion behind the 2nd Workshop on Leadership, Diversity and Inclusion is to theoretically and empirically explore the meanings and implications of adopting an ontology of inclusion. Is inclusion just a new way to manage diversity or does it actually leave the inhuman notions of diversity behind in search of possible pathways towards more open and equal organizations? Can inclusion change practice? May inclusive leadership provide new opportunities not only for acceptance of the other, but also for rethinking and reshaping organizations in the image of the other?In the workshop we welcome papers exploring topics and themes such as, but not limited to:
– The role of leadership in developing an inclusive work culture
– The practice of inclusion
– How can inclusive leadership be studied?
– Critical analysis of inclusion discourses in organisations
– Critical analysis of inclusion practices in organisations
– What does it mean to be inclusive?
– Inclusiveness as a personal leadership skill
– Inclusive work environments
– The dynamics of inclusion / exclusion
– The rights to be included / the right to remain excluded
– Who includes whom?
– Is inclusion a prerequisite for difference?
– What does it mean to be included?
– The meanings of difference, diversity or inclusion in an organisational setting
– When and how are leaders included / excluded?
Keynote speakers:
Yvonne Benchop, Nijmegen School of Management, Radboud University

Item 2:
Getting deep… arts-based research methods for business and management studies
21st-22nd March 2016
Leicester Business School, De Montfort University, UK
As management scholars of the interpretivist tradition, we spend our time trying to move beyond the surface of the organizations we select as sites of research. We want to hear the stories, anecdotes, myths and gossip that circulate the corridors and/or be privy to the difficult, challenging and yet unspoken emotions that pervade employment experiences. And yet, we continue to attempt this using an arguably limited palette of research methods (i.e. semi-structured interviews, surveys). Indeed, even research specifically seeking to appreciate complex emotional motivations, reactions and process of coping (Ward & McMurray, 2015) predominantly employ semi-structured interviews which have been said to illicit what Czarniawska (1999b) describes as a ‘logic of representation’ or what Bourdieu (1990) characterizes as ‘officializations’. Akin to the ‘elegant outfit you put on when visitors are coming’ (Czarniawska, 2004:53) research participants seek to ‘perform’ in a way they feel is appropriate to the research context; they want to present themselves in a good light. Arts-based methods have the potential to offer both researchers and their participants a new way of seeing in that they are said to facilitate the transfer of skills, reveal inner thoughts and feelings, enable the apprehension of the essence of a concept and finally to offer healing and a sense of connection (Taylor and Ladkin, 2009).
This FREE two-day experiential workshop event will provide ECRs, PhD students and other academics wanting to know more about arts-based methods with an opportunity to listen to, and engage with, leading academic experts working at the forefront of these methods of research. Over two days and one evening, we will explore how pushing the boundaries of the research methods used in organisational research might enable us to deepen our understand of how organising people, professions, services, resources, regulation, ideas, finances, procedures and processes affect the lived experiences of work.
The programme includes a series of introductory lectures to dance, quilting, photography, drawing and poetry as methods of research, followed by workshops in which you will have the opportunity to experience these methods first hand! You will also get an opportunity to discuss your own research design, ask questions and seek advice regarding funding, publication, dissemination, ethics and networks.
Our specialist facilitators are:
· Prof Steven Taylor, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, USA; Editor in Chief Organizational Aesthetics
· Dr Claus Springborg, Co-creation.dk
· Prof Samantha Warren, Cardiff University
· Dr Ann Rippin, University of Bristol
· Dr Andrew Armitage, Anglia Ruskin University
· Dr Jenna Ward, De Montfort University

We are able to offer 15 PhD students/ ECRs one night’s free accommodation on the 21st March 2016 and a contribution towards UK travel. Those wishing to apply for this additional financial support must complete an application form and have the support of their PhD supervisor or academic mentor.

Item 3:
corporate bodies: where film meets organization
Join us at the first edition of the international, biannual CORPORATE BODIES film festival on 11+12+13 February 2016
There is a large variety of beautiful, scary, hilarious, unsettling (art house) films that inform us about organizational life. Its bright and its dark sides, its people, its systems, its possible futures and heritages, its spectacles and bare lives, its hopes, dreams, its games, lusts and greed.
As it turns out, the most exciting of these films highlight aspects of organization that receive little attention in mainstream management literature or academic texts. Exploiting the absurdity, ambiguity, non-sense or irrationality that is also inherent to the world of organizations, filmmakers cater to those who rethink organizations, business, management or leadership.
In other words, filmmakers invite us to be confused again, to question our basic assumptions and deepest beliefs, and to develop and discuss new perspectives on what it means to organize and be organized.
CORPORATE BODIES creates an opportunity to seize upon this potential of film. It wants to explore how create new ways of generating knowledge on organizational life by pushing its participants out of their comfort zone and into the zone of thought and debate.
CORPORATE BODIES is a gathering of students, scholars, artists, directors, writers, managers, CEO’s, politicians and above all: film aficionados.
CORPORATE BODIES: films, discussions, lectures, thinking, eating, drinking, dancing, relaxing, and all those things that make a film fest a real fest.
Come join us at Filmhuis Den Haag in The Hague (NL)
