Seminar series at the School of Business, Economics and Law on "Organizing Integration" and related subjects
The ambition is for these seminars to continue serving as an arena for discussing and critically reflecting on the practices of organizing integration. We will also focus on related topics, such as diversity, inclusion, gender equality, and alternative organizational practices that promote long, sustainable careers and the well-being of all employees. These are practices with the potential to foster mutual learning and adaptation. The seminars are open to both early-career and senior researchers, as well as to practitioners.
