Spring celebrations may be just around the corner, but I see snow outside of my window. A beautiful oscillation between new growth and hibernation seems to be underway; so perhaps we too should be thinking about whether it's time to start emerging from the animal egg... and looking forward to these fabulous events and opportunities! Don't forget you can find details on all C&O forthcoming calls here and the deadline for contributions to the special issue on last summer's 'home' theme is 21st March.

Item 1: Globalization P3: People, Prosperity & Posterity [deadline March 31st 2016]
Item 2: Writing differently retreat 27th - 29th June 2016 [deadline for outline plans 18th March but places very limited!]
Item 3: Responsible Innovation: avenues for academics and practitioners [deadline to book 24th March]
Item 4: PhD opportunity in alternative organizing
Item 5: Scrawls from Scossy, watching the inbox!Read more…

Since late November, abstracts and workshop proposals have been waddling, flocking and slithering in to SCOS 2016, on The Animal. While it looks to be a promising conference in Uppsala in July (11-14), we would gently like to remind all of you who have not yet prepared and shared your thoughts on the animal and/of/in organization that the extended deadline for abstract submissions is due in less than three weeks, February 5.

Check out the call for papers at scos2016.wordpress.com, and submit your abstract (of 500 words, maximum) to scos2016@gmail.com.

Please also check out the public Facebook group "Standing Conference on Organizational Symbolism", as well as the SCOS page at the same social media platform (www.facebook.com/scospage/).

All the best,

The organisers: Thomas Taro Lennerfors & David SköldRead more…
