The editors, Brian Rusted (University of Calgary) and Barbara Czarniawska   
(Gothenburg Research Institute) would like to encourage you to submit a   
paper to _Studies in Cultures, Organizations and Societies_.

_Studies in Cultures, Organizations and Societies_ provides academics and   
practitioners with a scholarly forum for critical debate on the culture   
and symbolism of everyday life in organizations. The journal is not   
limited to research conducted from particular methodological traditions   
but reports contemporary scholarly and applied research that crosses   
traditional disciplinary boundaries. It stimulates provocative discussion   
and innovative perspectives, at the same time sustaining continuity and   
development in this emerging field.

The journal features research on the cultural performances, artifacts and   
texts of organizations. Theory and methods appropriate to this field are   
constantly constructed and re-evaluated and the journal has an important   
role to play in the consolidation of these developments. Ethnography,   
action research, deconstruction and other methodologies have figured   
prominently in research on organizational symbolism. Feminism, critical   
theory, postmodernism and post-colonial theory continue to offer   
theoretical frameworks for this research. Taking into account recent   
challenges to the authority of ethnography both inside and outside the   
field, _Studies_ can also encourage the questioning of received research   
paradigms, the critical scrutiny of the process of organizing and its   
power premises, and reflection on the rhetoric of voice and   
representation. All these approaches can be applied to studies of private   
and public sector organizations.
