Special issue call for papers

Organizing feminism: Bodies, practices and ethics

Guest Editors:

Emma Bell (Keele University, UK)

Susan Meriläinen (University of Lapland, Finland)

Scott Taylor (University of Birmingham, UK) and

Janne Tienari (Aalto University, Finland)

Submission deadline: 30 November 2016

Read the full call for papers here:

http://www.tavinstitute.org/humanrelations/special_issues/Organizing%20feminism.html

We invite contributors to consider the following indicative themes:

1. Bodies.  We welcome empirical evidence and theorizing on the distinct materiality of embodied experiences of the workplace.  While materiality and the body have mainly been perceived as constructs of discourse in earlier feminist theorizing, we seek to encourage contributions that discuss materiality of the body as itself an active force, focusing on the agency of lived experiential bodies. Such a framework avoids biological materialism that disregards the effects of culture, on the one hand, and cultural determinism that neglects the corporeal body, on the other.
2. Practices.  We encourage contributions from scholars who analyse the different contents (causes fought for) and forms (ways of organizing) feminist activism in contemporary workplaces and policy settings.  We also invite scholarship that aims to specify forms of interplay between feminist theorizing and political activism in and across organizations.
3. Ethics.  We invite new empirical evidence and theorizing on connections between contemporary feminisms and different forms of workplace ethics, such as moralities based on an ethic of care, to invite scholars to consider the relatedness that constitutes social organization and the organization of social groups.

Contributors should note:

�.      This call is open and competitive, and the submitted papers will be double-blind reviewed by experienced scholars in the field.

�.      Submitted papers must be based on original material not accepted for publication by, or under consideration for publication with, any other journal or publication outlet.

�.      For empirical papers based on data sets from which multiple papers have been generated, authors must provide the guest editors with copies of all other papers based on the same data to ensure a unique intellectual contribution is being made.

�.      The guest editors will select a limited number of papers to be included in the special issue. Other papers submitted to the special issue may be considered for publication in other issues of the journal at the discretion of the Editor-in-Chief.

�.      To be considered for this Special Issue, submissions must fit with the Aim and Scope of Human Relations as well as the call for papers and papers should also adhere to Human Relations submission requirements – see http://www.tavinstitute.org/humanrelations/submit_paper/guidance.html

�.      Papers should be submitted through the online system http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/hr

�.      Please indicate in your covering letter that your article is intended for this special issue.

�.      The special issue is intended for publication in early 2019.
