On Feb 23 & 24, we were happy to welcome participants to our GWO* workshop “Resising Business-As-Usual,” both online and on-site at the JKU Linz to our workshop. Inspired by the conversations and the burning dilemmas on the nexus between social justice and the climate crisis, we want to share a short recap on the workshop, the formats we experimented with, and a recording of the panel discussion with you here.
From February 22-23, we – Laura Dobusch (JKU Linz), Dide Van Eck (Utrecht School of Governance), Katharina Kreissl (JKU Linz), and I – are excited to host a hybrid workshop on “Resisting Business-As-Usual” at the JKU Linz, sponsored by Gender, Work & Organization. While the workshop promises vibrant discussions on burning dilemmas at the nexus between social justice and the climate crisis for accepted participants, you still have the opportunity to listen to our fantastic panel. Curious? Find more information here!
We are happy to announce that we will host the 4th OT Winter Workshop from February 6-8, 2024, at the University of Innsbruck. The OT Winter Workshop aims to advance research on organizational theory and further develop potential submissions to the journal “Organization Theory” (OT). The workshop will offer detailed coaching and hands-on feedback sessions as well as plenary sessions on crucial topics with regard to developing and writing theory with the members of the OT Editorial board.
Currently, the Academy of Management (AoM) hosts its Annual Meeting in Boston. The meeting is mainly organized along various Divisions and Interest Groups and follows fairly standard conference formats such as paper sessions, panels (“Symposiums”) and round table sessions. In all of these sessions, topics, speakers and facilitators are defined in advance, establishing a clear hierarchy between session organizers and speakers on the one hand, and the audience on the other hand.
Last week, Monica Nadegger, Katharina Zangerle, and Milena Leybold (University of Innsbruck, Department for Organization and Learning) traveled to the beautiful island Sardegna to meet for four days with around 2000 people at the Colloquium of the European Group of Organization Studies.

Join us for an open conversation on academic writing, its beauty and challenges, and the pressure of “you should be writing” as early career scholars over a coffee on March 14th!
Academic writing can be a fulfilling but also challenging and overwhelming experience for early career scholars. On March 14th from 13.00 to 14.30, please join us for an honest exchange on our struggles and great moments in writing. Daniela Rothe (Writing Center, University of Innsbruck) will talk about the practice of journalling in academia, the tinkering between the scientific object itself and writing, and the re-(production) of gender stereotypes in scientific writing. Monica, Milena, and Ellen (early career researchers at the University of Innsbruck & Leuphana University Lüneburg) will share their writing experiences based on a collective letter diary they wrote to each other over a couple of months to reflect on their writing practices.
We would love to hear about your experiences, too, and together question and discuss the norms and ways of academic writing.
The Strategizing Activities and Practices (SAP) is an Interest Group at the Academy of Management and thus quite global. However, beyond international meetings and online collaborations, we thought more regional meetings would be nice to allow for informal exchange and peer learning. And the first Austrian SAP Community meeting on January 13, 2023, demonstrated that this thesis was highly accurate. Thanks to all who joined us in Innsbruck – and a special thank you goes to Milena Leybold, who was the lead organizer of the event.
Am Montag, 25. April 2022, darf ich ab 9:00 Uhr im Literaturhaus am Inn, Josef-Hirn-Str. 5, mit der Schriftstellerin Andrea Winkler das traditionelle Montagsfrühstück bestreiten. Aus der Ankündigung zur Veranstaltung:
Die Corona-Pandemie macht einmal mehr deutlich, dass unsere Gesellschaft tief in einer so genannten „Infodemie“ steckt. Aufgrund einer Flut an Falschinformationen und Fake-News, die sich vor allem in den sozialen Medien rasant verbreiten, verlieren komplexe und wissenschaftlich belegte Fakten an Glaubwürdigkeit. Was ist objektiv, was ist subjektiv? Was Wissen, was Glauben? In diesem Montagsfrühstück sollen unter anderem Wege und Mittel diskutiert werden, wie das Vertrauen in die Wissenschaften zurückgewonnen werden kann, aber auch, welche Konsequenzen dies für Autorschaft und für das literarische Schreiben hat.
Our Org. Studies program Students and Alumni Day is postponed to November 2022 due to the current Covid situation. Please check back for the final date, and will inform you of further details as the event approach.
