Call for Applications

for the

EGOS Feminist Network organizing team


Dear colleagues,
 
We are calling for applications to become part of the next organizing team of the EGOS Feminist Network for the 2025–2028 term. The network gathers annually on Wednesday afternoon before the EGOS main Colloquium, bringing together engaged colleagues for discussions, workshops, and talks on pressing feminist issues and future challenges. These include themes like inequality, equity, diversity, and differences, both within organization studies and the broader academic context.
 
The EGOS Feminist Network has featured a mix of traditional presentations, talks, interactive workshops, group activities, and manifesto writing over the past five years. The network has engaged a diverse range of participants dedicated to contributing to the network and moving these discussions within and beyond EGOS in more inclusive and caring directions. Recent themes have included: (I) challenges of inclusion and exclusion in academia; (II) reclaiming feminist futures and manifesto creation; (III) transforming aspirations into actionable steps; and (IV) nurturing hope and solidarity in the face of ongoing crises.
 
As part of the organizing team you will collaborate with three other scholars to design and facilitate the annual event. This includes: drafting a call for participation, developing a program and organizing activities and speakers, and facilitating the event at the conference venue. Throughout the process, you will work closely with the EGOS Executive Board, the EGOS Executive Secretariat, and the local organizing committee on logistics, such as location, catering, and board representation.
 
Please write a motivational letter of 0.5–1 page including your ideas and hopes for the network moving forward, existing experience with the network, and organizing alike events. Since the network is an onsite activity, it is advisable to consider your possibility to attend the EGOS Colloquium for the term of four years (2025–2028), except for 2026 which is an online EGOS Colloquium.
 
Deadline for applications: November 15, 2024
 
Please email your motivational letter to:

 
We look forward very much to hearing from you!
 
The outgoing EGOS Feminist Network organizing team,
Janet, Sara, Mie, & Sheena
