ASSIOA-VHB Summer School 2023
September 4-7, 2023 University of Trento, Italy
This course is centered on broad topics related to social evaluation, from categorization to status, stigma, boundary work, moral legitimacy and inequality in organizations.
The material ranges from ‘recent classics’ to papers fresh from print. After an introduction to these dimensions, we also will discuss the ontological, epistemological, and axiological (normative) assumptions in these works and how they affect the study design and our understandings of the role of us as researchers.
Students will be asked to prepare in advance in order to present the main themes of the assigned literature and discuss empirical material with a hands-on approach.
Learning objectives:
Exposure to advanced and emerging themes (and their established roots) in the field of management and organization
Understanding the broad variety of methods (inductive, deductive, and abductive) used in the field in a complementary way and their epistemological background
Learning about abductive methods and Dos and Don’ts in abductive theorizing
Recognizing and positioning diverse epistemological grounds in research papers.
Practicing a reflexive approach towards the self as researcher and towards the discourse being developed throughout the course.
