We are delighted to be hosting our second Annual Feminist Philosophy Meeting, with a focus on postcolonial and decolonial feminisms.
The event aims to:
- explore current debates within postcolonial and decolonial thought in management and organisation studies
- engage with the work of influential thinker Saba Mahmood, which is only recently being discussed within our discipline
- discuss the challenges and possibilities of publishing postcolonial and decolonial work in management journals
- generate rich discussion in a supportive and dynamic intellectual environment
We have an exceptional line-up of speakers at the forefront of advancing these conversations.
