The Finnish Doctoral Programme in Business Studies

THE EDEN DOCTORAL SEMINAR ON RESPONSIBLE ORGANISING:
NEW PERSPECTIVES ON SOCIAL INEQUALITIES

goes virtual.

The dates are November 9-13, 2020.

More information on structure of the seminar and the technology which will be used will be announced shortly.

• Course coordinator and contact information: Pia Polsa -  pia.polsa@hanken.fi 
• Instructors: Prof. Janne Tienari (lead educator), Dr. Charlotta Niemistö, Dr. Wojciech Piotrowicz, Dr. Nikodemus Solitander, other faculty to be confirmed.

The aim of the PhD course is to give an in-depth overview of the current state and contribution of Responsible Organising research on social inequalities. Responsible Organising (RO) is one of Hanken's four Areas of Strength, which has been evaluated as reaching highest international standard. At the core of Responsible Organising (RO) is research on how different actors are organising for transformative action towards sustainability, as expressed in the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Common for RO research is a rejection of the idea that moral concerns and business decisions are something separate. Instead, within RO ethics/morality and business as inseparable, intertwined, and interconnected. Simultaneously it recognizes the complexity, multifacetedness, and intersectionality of societal inequalities. The course brings together faculty from different subjects to explore the intersections between social responsibility and social inequalities.

Some of the topics to be covered:

• Analysing Organisations with(out) Attention to Gender, Diversity and Intersectionality
• Society and risks, preparing for and responding to disasters
• Innovations that target social inequality – intended and unintended consequences 
• Organising in defence of life – including nonhumans and ontological multiplicity in social movement theories
• Challenging gender equalities in organisations and society
• ...

After completing this PhD course, you will be able to:

• evaluate different perspectives on social inequalities
• position your own research in relation to different Responsible Organising perspectives
• understand the evolution of Responsible Organising research and how you can contribute to that evolution
• collaborate with other researchers to develop research ideas into joint paper

Evaluation system:

• Pre-readings
• Lectures
• Individual mentoring sessions
• Written assignment (draft conference/journal paper 2,000-4,000 words),
• Course diary

6 ECTS will be assigned upon completion of the seminar
