Some two years ago, TripleEd arranged a workshop on experimental methods and approaches in extreme contexts. As part of the workshop Alison and Sam (a guest researcher at USBE, and involved with TripleEd) participated and was kind enough to later give a presentation at USBE on a paper they were working on. Now that very paper has been published, congratulations Alison and Sam!!! The paper is entitled “The Institutionalization of Suffering: Embodied inhabitation and the maintenance of health and safety in e-waste recycling ” and is accepted for publication in Organization Studies!

This week it was Robert´s turn to arrange the ODD seminar. We discussed the paper “Orchestrating reforms” that Robert have written with Oscar, Ola and Markus. The paper deals with how multimodal resources are used in videos for sensegiving of the reform. As always a very nice way of ending the week!
The other week we had the absolute pleasure of welcoming professor David Buchanan to Umeå as part of the research exchange program financed by 
It is the absolute pleasure of TripleEd to invite you (again!) to a WORKSHOP with Professor Emeritus David Buchanan at Cranfield University, UK. David has a lot of experience in using and writing about unconventional methodology in management and organization studies. Take the chance of learning about doing things a little bit differently!
During the previous week Ola, Oscar and Markus went to University of Akureyri (Iceland) to present their paper “Organizational challenges of criminal investigation in northern rural Sweden”. The paper was well-received and lots of interesting contacts were made. Looking forward seeing what will become of this!
Finally we are back to some kind of normality and the ODD seminars are once again arranged! The other week was however even a Odd seminar for a ODD seminar since we spent the time welcoming two new members of our small community, celebrating some achievements and planning for the spring.
The other day Markus Hällgren, Linda Rouleau´s and Mark de Rond´s paper “A Matter of Life or Death: How Extreme Context Research Matters for Management and Organization Studies” was published in the Academy of Management Annals journal. It was a lot of hard work so they are really pleased to finally see it in print. Hopefully it will make a difference in how we conceptualize, theorize and approach extreme contexts in the future.
Igårkväll hade P4 ett inslag om tristess i våra liv. Markus hade förmånen att bli intervjuad om insikterna om hur expeditioner på Mount Everest hanterar det.
