DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACTS - November 1st 2006 (Please contact the convenors if
you would like to submit an abstract but are unable to make this deadline)
Gender, Work and Organization, 5th international interdisciplinary
conference, 27th–29th June 2007, Keele University
Call for Abstracts: Generating An Ethic of Care in Organizations and Beyond
Stream Convenors:
Pat Armstrong, Department of Sociology, York University, Toronto, Canada
Harriet Churchill, Dept. of Politics, University of Manchester, UK
Emma Head, CESSW, Keele University, UK
Concerned with researching and generating welfare orientated organisations
and businesses, this stream bridges disciplinary, empirical, theoretical
and methodological concerns around the human, social and ecological
consequences of organisational agendas; the significance of care as
constitutive of organisational outcomes; and the interface between gender
and organisational, personal, community and ecological activities and
relations. Many of these issues have been central to debates around
formulating a political and organizational ‘ethic of care’. Such a notion
is contested and has informed organisational settings in a variety of ways
with a variety of consequences. The stream debates these issues around a
broad notion and assertion that organisational and economic growth be
balanced against personal, family, community and ecological ‘care’ agendas.
All abstracts will be peer reviewed. Please not that due to restrictions of
space, multiple submissions by the same author will not be timetabled. New
and young scholars with ‘work in progress’ papers are welcomed.
Abstracts should be emailed to [log in to unmask]
