| Civil society groups have had a significant impact on markets and economically-driven organizations over the past century. From the environmental and civil rights protests of the 1960s to contemporary social-media movements combatting sexual harassment, racism, and xenophobia, activist organizations and their participants have shaped not only firm behavior, but also industry’s willingness to respond to – and even participate in – civil society. In our fourth year of this workshop, we are turning our focus toward potential tensions between strategic and cultural approaches toward this topic – a debate introduced in the recent (2018) Research in the Sociology of Organizations volume that arose from earlier meetings of this PDW – and the implications of this discussion for scholars working at the intersection of firms, markets, and stakeholders. Our goal is to unite the numerous researchers interested in the relationship between social movements and firms, despite the different analytical toolkits they employ, and to build a community of scholars with related interests. Additionally, we hope to broaden the scope of our community by inviting the participation of scholars who have not yet studied social movements and markets but who would like to contribute to this area of work in the future. This PDW consists of two segments. In the first, Amy Hillman, Michael Lounsbury, Thomas Lyon, and Edward Walker will discuss our focal topic – followed by a question and answer session with the audience. The second segment will feature research round-tables, where participants will receive feedback from leading scholars and fellow participants on new research ideas or issues faced with current projects. Participation is open for the speaker panel and Q&A session, but pre-registration is required for the research round-table segment. To apply for the round-tables, please submit a 3-5 page description of your research idea or problem to Jocelyn Leitzinger, Brayden King, and Timothy Werner at MovementsandMarkets@gmail.com by July 12. At the beginning of your submission, please include your name, title, and school affiliation, and list your top three discussant preferences. To ensure enough discussion time for each participant, there will be a limited number of positions available. |
