Towards Epistemic Alliances

The motivation follows from conversations between writers in management and organisational studies and in sociology thinking through the production and persistence of structures of power as they shape our worlds.

Management writing focuses on philosophies and practices of management as they coalesce structures of domination and control; sociological writing is concerned with the emergence and operation of social relations that structure our worlds. Nowhere is the congruence of these agendas more evident than in the study of colonial power wherein the Other has been nothing but an object of management. Moreover, colonial power remains manifest within the most pressing issues of the day - from migration and gentrification to employment and incarceration.

This seminar, thus, seeks to engage the epistemological alliances between Management and Sociology (and other social sciences).
