6th Workshop Theme: Fiction & Extreme Contexts
Wednesday December 8th 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm UTC
Are you a scholar interested in extreme context research (ECR)? If so, we invite you to the 6th online Organizing in Extreme Contexts Workshop.
The theme of the sixth workshop is "Fiction & Extreme Contexts," featuring Professors Barbara Czarniawska (Gothenburg University) and David Buchanan (Cranfield University). An enduring problem with researching extreme contexts is the issue of access. Extreme events may be hard to access as they happen, or extreme contexts may be hard to access due to ethical or confidentiality reasons. Professors Czarniawska and Buchanan's presentations and the subsequent discussion will provide some guidance and thought on one way to address this issue. Namely, how can we use (extreme) fiction to access extreme contexts?
What? This online seminar series started in 2020 brings together the community of extreme context researchers on a recurrent basis throughout the year. The ongoing seminars allow those of us interested in ECR to connect with each other, to stay up-to-date with the latest research through presentations and discussion, and to get ideas and feedback for empirical or theoretical studies.
When? The sixth organizing in extreme context workshop takes place Wednesday December 8th 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm UTC. Please note that if you want to "hang out and chat" before we start the workshop, the Zoom link will be open 30 minutes in advance.
