It’s been great to hear all of the support for continuing the AMO conference and I’m excited that Steve Linstead has stepped up and taken on running a 2012 conference in Bristol. This gives us more time and space to talk and think about how to create an organization that will ensure that the conferences keep happening.
The other great contribution from Ian King (and others) that I think needs to be continued in some fashion was the creation of the journal Aesthesis: International Journal of Art and Aesthetics in Management and Organizational Life. I’ve talked to a few folks and started thinking about how to fill the void left by the demise of Aesthesis. I’d like to gather some more information/ideas from the AACORN community about your desires for a journal. So here’s a few questions I’d love to hear some discussion around:
1. What should the journal include (academic articles, practitioner pieces, art, other)?
2. What should the journal be called?
3. Who would you like to see in editorial positions (for the journal overall, and/or sections of the journal)?
4. How important was the look of Aesthesis (it was a full color, fully designed look, but that’s a huge problem for most publishers)?
5. Who should publish the journal (where’s the best fit, and if you know people at a publisher who you think would be a good choice are you willing to help in the process)?
6. What else should we be thinking about in terms of this journal?
Please feel free to reply to the list or to just me as you prefer.
Thanks,
Steve Taylor
