Call for Papers “International Journal of Organizations”: Special Issue: Gender, lifelong learning and social class

Learning through information transfer, collaboration and social capital building has always been essential for humans. In today’s world, the continuing-education demands of a changing workforce and the accelerated pace of technological change have increased demands for continuing education and lifelong learning, a concept that has been defined as “all learning activity undertaken throughout life, with the aim of improving knowledge, skills and competences within a personal, civic, social and/or employment related perspective” (European Commission, 2001, p. 9). The recession that has hit Europe over the last years has seen a return to an economy marked by increasing levels of unemployment and social inequality. In some countries unemployment rates and early school dropout are particularly high among women with no educational qualifications and low income people. This is the context in which national, regional and institutional policies towards lifelong learning must be implemented as a crucial factor for both long-term employability (European Commission, 2006) and social inclusion.

GLAS (Social class, gender, participation and lifelong learning) is a multinational European project which is comparing, developing and disseminating best practice, as to methods to facilitate social inclusion and progression of working class individuals and, in particular, mature women. GLAS concentrates in five core themes: accreditation of prior and experiential learning, work based learning, social mobility by widening participation in higher education, community and civic engagement and continuous professional development.

As effective policies for lifelong learning need to be informed and inspired by evidence generated by research the special issue editors encourage contributions to explore lifelong learning policies and strategies through multi-disciplinary perspectives, case studies and theoretical analyses. Quantitative and qualitative empirical papers are welcome.

For this special edition (June 2014) we invite submissions of papers on Gender, lifelong learning and social class including the following topics:

  • Lifelong learning: a class     and gender perspective
  • Recent developments in     the field of lifelong learning
  • Developing a lifelong learning     society
  • The use of accreditation     of prior (and experiential) learning
  • Work-based learning
  • Lifelong learning and social     mobility
  • The social value of lifelong     learning
  • Lifelong learning strategies     and widening participation into higher education
  • Public-private     partnership for lifelong learning initiatives
  • Partnership models and     terms of engagement for work based learning
  • Benefits for learners,     companies and education providers
  • Development,     implementation and impact of lifelong learning policy (institutional     and/or national)
  • Continuing professional     development
  • Continuing professional     development policy and strategies
  • Employee     entitlement and the role of the trade unions and “union learning representatives”
  • Current continuing     professional development provision to support recognition/accreditation of     prior learning and experience, work based learning and lifelong learning.
  • Flexible and creative     learning environments for lifelong learning

Information about online submission of manuscript and formatting requirements, can be found at: http://www.revista-rio.org/index.php/revista_rio/about/submissions#authorGuidelines

Articles submitted to the Editorial Committee must not have been previously published and may not be simultaneously under consideration at other academic journals. Papers must be submitted in English or Spanish.

Abstract Submission Guidelines
SASE Membership/Conference Registration Payments

Recent studies  and analyses have shown that economic growth in Latin America during the  past decade has been accompanied by an improvement in income  distribution and poverty reduction. The region has also gained ground in  politics (toward democracy), and its governments have implemented  strategies for (global) economic change. However, socio-economic  deprivation in several categories and the persistence of social  inequality, now more intense in large and intermediate cities, challenge  structural economic change and democratic discourse itself.

It  is essential to tackle these inequalities, which threaten not only the  economy but the democracies themselves, by reprocessing social policy  instruments. One challenge faced by democracy is the creation of social  instruments to make the people participants and architects of their  societies’ decisions; such a goal requires equal opportunities, fair  income distribution, and strong and credible institutions.

Equal  opportunities come with a strong state capable of developing a social  policy – by investing in education, healthcare, and housing, and by  developing a labor policy that ensures industrial relations with quality  employment and large workforce participation. At the same time, these  policies contribute to a more equitable income distribution and to an  increased training and knowledge, which enables individuals to  participate more actively in policy making, democracy, and governance.

Taking this  as our starting point, what kind of state is needed for such a  reconfiguration? What are the implications for democracy and social  policy? What kind of state capacity requires an alternative development  model? What is the potential and what are the limits to civil society’s  role in ensuring democracy and correcting poverty and income  distribution inequality?

Sincerely, SASE President Bruce Carruthers

ABEN Conference 2013 – Call for Papers – Submission deadline extended to 31 August

3rd Annual Australasian Business Ethics Network (ABEN) Conference

MANAGING ETHICS ON THE EDGE
Hobart, 2nd and 3rd December 2013
Supported by the Faculty of Business at the University of Tasmania and the Department of Management at Monash University

Call for Papers– EXTENDED DEADLINE for Abstract and Full Paper Submission: 31st August 2013.

Submissions are being invited for the 3rd annual ABEN conference on business, ethics and  business ethics (www.aben.org.au). Bringing academics, critics and practitioners together to discuss and debate the nature, intent, effects and futures of business ethics in Australasia and beyond, the ABEN conference is a key forum  in the region for reflective, engaged and philosophical work in the area. The location for this year’s conference is the Lenna Hotel in the capital of Tasmania, Hobart.

Once again,  the conference is linked with publication opportunities in business ethics and  professional ethics journals (The Journal of Business Ethics Education and  the Australian Journal of Applied and Professional Ethics), as well as Philosophy  of Management, the leading interdisciplinary journal with a focus on  applied philosophy in management. Like the wider network from which it originates, the ABEN conference is inclusive – welcoming submissions that explore business ethics from a range of theoretical, empirical and practical positions and perspectives.

This year, we purposefully link the theme to the notion of managing ethics on the edge, to promote awareness of  the multitude of philosophical issues that mainstream management research  appears to ignore. This raises some interesting questions for ethics teachers and researchers to address. For example:

  • Given the rhetoric around the importance of ethics in business, are moral considerations and values being authentically included in emerging management practices and strategies or do they remain at the periphery of managers’ thinking?
  • Are moral values and competencies becoming part of core learning objectives at all levels of study in University business courses, or do they remain on the periphery? If they are being included, how are they being taught and to what effect?
  • Are existing moral philosophies serving the needs of moral decision making in business and business education? Are there philosophical alternatives to orthodox approaches that have been hitherto peripheral to the field that may serve teaching and practice in more constructive ways?

In writing this call, we espouse a view posited by Philosophy of Management: namely, that management concerns itself with making a genuine positive difference to human life, a difference that is only made possible through thoroughgoing thought.  Rather than being on the periphery of management, therefore, philosophy is central to all management worthy of the name; management is about ‘reason in practice.’ Thus, the ABEN Conference theme also connects with the theme for the ANZAM Conference 2013, which is being held in Hobart on 4-6 December.

Papers are welcomed that  address these questions in the context of (e.g.) Australasian business practice  and education, the place of the employee, the questions of sustainability and  of responsible accounting, as well as the place of human rights in the  workplace.

Please send a 500-word abstract and contact details of all authors, as an email attachment with the title ‘Abstract Submission’ toABEN.Conference@utas.edu.au  by 31 August. Full papers may also be submitted, to be peer reviewed, if required by your funding institution. Authors of accepted abstracts/papers will be notified by the 15th of August.

All details of the conference are available at http://www.utas.edu.au/business/ABEN2013. Registration for the conference is the same as ABEN 2; $A300 (registering before 1 November) and $A380 (registering after 31st September) for salaried persons; and $A200 (before 1 November) and $A280 (after 31st September) for those who are non-salaried/students. Registration opens 30thSeptember. For all inquiries please email ABEN.Conference@utas.edu.au.

We have secured special room rates at The Lenna for rooms from $149.00 per night to $175.00 per night for those who have registered. Please e-mail The Lenna enclosing a copy of your registration receipt.

100 Main Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts, 02142
Faculty Position in Work and Organization Studies

The Work and Organization Studies (WOS) group at the MIT Sloan School is seeking to hire a faculty member whose teaching and research focuses on work and employment issues. The rank of this position is open and both junior and senior candidates will be considered. Candidates must have their Ph.D. at the start of their employment.

Faculty responsibilities include teaching basic courses related to work and organization studies. WOS has teaching needs in negotiations and it would be desirable (although not essential) if the candidate could teach in this area. It is expected that the candidate be prepared to teach at all levels:  MBA, executive, Ph.D., and undergraduate.

WOS is a new group that merges two former groups at Sloan, the Organizational Studies Group and the Institute for Work and Employment Research.   As such the WOS faculty is interdisciplinary and the new hire’s background is open and might include sociology, organizational behavior, political science, or economics.   We are open to a variety of styles of research (quantitative, ethnographic, field based) but we do expect that the new hire would approach work and employment issues from what might be termed a “macro” or “structural” point of view.  Our group also contains strong social psychologists and candidates with that background are encouraged to consider our other position announcement in leadership.

WOS is part of the Behavioral and Policy Sciences Area, one of three major academic areas at Sloan.  We encourage multidisciplinary work with colleagues in other parts of the School, and several members of the group are also members of other groups in the School (Communication, Economic Sociology, Information Technology, Strategy, System Dynamics).

Please submit applications electronically athttps://sloanfacultysearches.mit.edu/wos/ providing a cover letter outlining interests and experience, a current CV, and one or two papers that indicate your research focus and capabilities.
