Purpose
This writing workshop, supported by the EGOS Standing Working Group (SWG) 05 on "Social Evaluations in Organization Studies" and hosted as part of the EGOS Hub at IULM University (Milan), aims to help researchers advance their work on social evaluations. The workshop offers participants the opportunity to discuss theoretical and methodological challenges related to social evaluations research, connect with colleagues in the field, and receive individualized feedback on work in progress from leading scholars.
The workshop is free of charge.
The workshop will take place in person at the EGOS Hub at IULM University (Milan).
In addition, workshop participants will be able to remain at the EGOS Hub at IULM University to attend the conference together with convenors, track organizers, and other Hub participants, as dedicated spaces will be available to follow EGOS sessions in a hybrid format (please note that EGOS colloquium registration is required to attend EGOS subtheme sessions, but not the Social evaluations writing workshop).
Application
All scholars working on social evaluations are invited to apply. Selection will be based on the originality and relevance of the proposal to the workshop theme.
