Interested in the processes and practices of managing, strategising, and organising for responsibility and sustainability challenges?
Amid the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution, process- and practice-based approaches have increasingly been mobilised to advance the study of responsibility and sustainability challenges. This has led to a proliferation of fast-growing research streams, including practice-based studies of grand challenges, responsible management-as-practice, sustainabilty transitions etc.
Join us in London (NTU London campus) for an international research workshop that brings scholars together across streams and career stages to take stock, build connections, and explore new avenues for practice-based and processual research in this area. For SIM researchers, the workshop offers an opportunity to meet and connect with researchers from other communities who share interests in process, practice, sustainability, and responsibility. The workshop will include, among other activities, keynote sessions, cross-stream conversations on research opportunities, and research clinics to advance participants' ideas and work in progress.
