From Bodies to Black-Scholes:
A Two-day Workshop on Performativity and the Social Studies of Finance
Organized by Daniel Beunza (Columbia U.) and Yuval Millo (LSE)
Columbia Business School, New York, 28-29 April 2008
The Social Studies of Finance (SSF) is one of the fastest-growing and
most intriguing new fields in the social sciences today. Born from the
intersection of sociology of science, economic sociology, management and
critical accounting, SSF offers a new vantage point for the analysis of
financial markets and their dynamics.
This intensive two-day workshop is convened by Daniel Beunza from
Columbia Business School and Yuval Millo from the London School of
Economics. It is aimed at presenting the field to newcomers, and is
directed at research students and early-career researchers in
accounting, finance, management, political science and sociology.
To allow effective discussion, the group size is limited to 12
participants. The workshop's fee is US$ 200, which includes meals. To
apply for the workshop, please send by February 31 your CV and a
one-page description of your research and how it relates to SSF to
y.millo@lse.ac.uk
