ICOS 2026 - International Conference on Organizational Sociology
16-17 mars 2026
University of Potsdam, Germany - Potsdam (Allemagne)
Plurality, Diversity and Social Inequality in Organizations Organizations are confronted with a plurality of rapidly changing challenges to which they respond in various ways. Among these challenges are the organizational governance of claims for the recognition of group identities and differences, issues of sustainability, climate action, organizational responsibility, and the challenges posed by digitalization and generative AI. These processes of rapid change do not occur simultaneously across the world; they often begin in some countries or regions and are taken up elsewhere only after several years. When organizations adapt to such newly emerging challenges, their responses may remain superficial, or organizational changes may take so long that trends and socio-political discourses in the organizational environment shift before the changes are fully implemented. We call for papers that address rapid and gradual, superficial and profound organizational changes, as well as organizational resistance to expectations of change, in the following three fields: 1) Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Organizations 2) Sustainability Transitions, Climate Action & Organizational Responsibility 3) Digitalization, Generative AI & Organizing
