Discussion: View Thread

If you are interested in ideology in any way, shape, or form, you are welcome to join the Ideology and Organizations Field Development Workshop to be held at EMLyon Business School on May 21-22, 2026. A Field Development Workshop brings together institutional guardians to actively shape their respective field. As a community, we will discuss the state of ideology research, including adjacent constructs, and where we would like it to go. We will accomplish this by bringing together leading scholars within and outside of management as well as early career researchers to share knowledge about new methods, empirical settings, theoretical developments, and more.

Participants include:

• Rajen Anderson, Leeds University Business School
• Moritz Appels, Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University
• Sekou Bermiss, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Kenan-Flagler Business School
• M.K. Chin, Indiana University Kelley School of Business
• Yasir Dewan, HEC Paris Business School
• Vera Fennell, Lehigh University College of Arts and Sciences 
• Marc Kowalzick, Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University
• Anna McKean, University of Virginia Darden School of Business
• Krishnan Nair, Boise State University College of Business and Economics 
• Tal Simons, Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University  

Scholars who wish to join should submit a personal essay explaining their understanding of the current state of ideology research and why they wish to shape this discussion. Please write no more than eight pages, excluding references, and submit this by February 1, 2026 to robertson@em-lyon.com. Decisions will be made by February 14, 2026. All inquiries can be directed to robertson@em-lyon.com as well.

Hi Winslow,

The submission dates are in need of an update. February 1 has passed and there is little over a week before February 14. Are these dates for March? Please let us know. Thank you.
