Over the past two decades, qualitative research in management and organization studies has explored new forms of fieldwork, method, theorizing, and writing. Yet the long and distinguished history of qualitative research dates at least from the Hawthorne Studies of the 1920s and the early urban ethnographies and anthropological contributions. John Van Maanen's seminal Tales of the Field (1988) is a key contribution linking this history to exciting new developments in fieldwork. His text had and continues to have a profound effect on qualitative organizational scholarship because it highlights the possibilities for ethnography, engaging more directly with organizational life and thinking more reflexively about such work.
This conference will recognize and celebrate John Van Maanen's impact on the field and will also create a space in which qualitative scholars who use multiple methods, voices, and ways of writing qualitative work can exchange ideas and engage in critical discussion.
Papers, panels, and innovative sessions will explore philosophical, theoretical, and practical aspects of qualitative approaches to researching organizational life. Contributions from a range of disciplines will be presented, including management and organization studies, accounting, marketing, communication, cultural studies, information and decision sciences, sociology, psychology, education, health, and public administration.
