The doctoral course was held in June 2022. Organized by Åbo Akademi University
This course focuses on the encounters and connections between performing arts(theatre), aesthetics, and theoretical debates in the field of organization and management studies. The course invites doctoral students (especially in the field of organization and management) from all Nordic countries to an intensive three-day doctoral course (including interactive workshops, seminars, and ongoing dialogues) to creatively develop their own research projects and research practice. This will be done in an open, inclusive, and reflexive manner together with professional artists and researchers with expertise within arts, aesthetics, ethics, philosophy, process theory and practice. The course help students develop a creative and critical appreciation of different arts-based theoretical approaches and methods to the study of organization, organizing and social relations at work. Through the encounter with artists and professionals from Svenska Teatern, the participants will be inspired to creatively reflect upon their own research practice in general and the writing process in particular.
