Dear Colleague

We have the pleasure of inviting you to submit your work-in-progress to the 3rd international Workshop in the Organizing Extreme Contexts series. The theme of this year’s workshop is ”Doing research in Extreme Environments: What can be learned?” In the spirit of the workshop we are not looking for finished contributions but for interesting ideas that is worthwhile to pursue, and that will get the discussions going.

The workshop will be organized around plenary sessions where distinguished scholars will present published papers related to extreme contexts. Professor Ian Colville, Professor Sylvia Gherardi, Professor Hervé Laroche and Professor Annie Pye are our confirmed distinguished guest speakers and chairs. In addition, there will be parallel sessions with opportunities to share and discuss work-in-progress and roundtable sessions where participants have the opportunity to discuss specific challenges and issues raised by and from doing research in extreme contexts.

The workshop will be held at IAE Paris Sorbonne Graduate Business School, Paris, France, on October 19-20, 2017 (there will be no participation fee but because of that and the available time there is a limit to the number of participants (45)). Please find more details about the workshop in the attached call.

We are looking forward to seeing you in Paris!

Frederic Gautier, Genevieve Musca, Markus Hällgren and Linda Rouleau
