8th Public Call

THEMATIC DOSSIER PROPOSALS

 

Presentation

Farol – Journal of Organization Studies and Society is the scientific journal of the Center for Organizational Studies and Society, Faculty of Economic Sciences of Federal University of Minas Gerais (NEOS/FACE/UFMG) that seeks to foment, propagate and contribute to Organizational Studies from a non-functionalist perspective. In this sense, it constitutes an interdisciplinary space, open to discuss and propose themes, critical and innovative approaches and non-orthodox objects in organizational studies. The idea is that, from a plural perspective from the ontological, epistemological, theoretical and methodological points of view, and not guided by managerialism, it is possible to propose, discuss, criticize and theorize for the understanding of the complex dynamics of society and its interfaces with organizations.

In this message we make the seventh public call for proposals of thematic dossiers, with the purpose of sheltering ideas from the Organizational Studies community, for which we invite all interested people, according to the following parameters:

  • the theme of the thematic dossier must mandatorily deal with a plural and non-managerial perspective, being particularly welcome critical, reflexive and innovative approaches and on non-orthodox objects in Organizational Studies;
  • there must be at least two and no more than three special editors;
  • Special issues editors must necessarily hold doctoral degrees;
  • Special Editors must be affiliated with at least two different institutions;
  • it is highly recommended that at least one of the candidates for special editors be affiliated with a university outside Brazil;
  • each special editor may be linked to at most one proposal for a thematic dossier;
  • the proposal should contain about 3,000 words, theoretically presenting the theme, its development and possibilities in the field of organizational studies, the publication potential of a thematic dossier, and the possible lines of contribution, as well as the proposed names of the special editors and their affiliation institutions.
