SUMMARY:Expert panel: Interdisciplinary team building and working
DESCRIPTION:Understanding how to build and manage teams capable of creating interdisciplinary outputs and impact is a complex skill set that is of fast-growing importance to funders\, institutions and academics alike. And while there are multiple challenges\, interdisciplinary working can be some of the most rewarding work that we do in our careers. In this panel session we will discuss the practical side of interdisciplinary working. \n  \nProfessor Jan Bebbington (Lancaster University Management School)\, Professor Fiona Barclay (University of Stirling\, Arts & Humanities) and Professor Kim McKee (University of Stirling\, Social Sciences) will share their experiences on how they build and work within interdisciplinary teams. Each will speak for about 10 minutes\, leaving 30 minutes for questions and discussion. \n  \nEach speaker will bring their own unique perspective to interdisciplinary working: \n  \nJan Bebbington: Engaging in inter-disciplinary collaborations is something that requires some preparation and careful navigation. In this session Jan Bebbington will reflect on why she became interested in inter-disciplinary work\, what preparation she had to undertake to make herself and her discipline understandable to others and what the joys (and challenges) she has faced in this ambition. Jan is involved in a long-term collaboration with ecologists and sustainability scientists that aims to identify how and when corporate actors might contribute to sustainability transitions\, especially in the ocean. She also works with ecologists to understand the possibilities for corporate contributions to ecosystem restoration. \n  \nFiona Barclay: Interdisciplinary research is increasingly recognised as a requirement for finding solutions to complex situations. In this session Fiona will discuss her experience of working with other disciplines – across French\, History\, Psychology\, Sociology\, Applied Linguistics\, Teacher Education and Computer Science – on a range of projects\, including as PI on a current £1.5m UKRI research project which investigates cultures of language learning across Scotland\, Wales\, Northern Ireland and Ireland. The discussion will look to identify some of the factors for successful interdisciplinary work. \n  \nKim McKee: Solving housing ‘problems’ requires bringing different disciplines around the table – social policy\, planning\, economics\, law\, geography\, and public health amongst others. In this session Kim McKee will reflect on the insights and challenges of interdisciplinary working in an applied field where co-investigators can also be non-academics from varied disciplinary backgrounds. Kim has been involved in numerous interdisciplinary projects including as Co-I on the Intersectional Stigma of Place-based Ageing (ISPA) project. This 5 year\, £2 million ESRC funded project led by Stirling brings together researchers from social policy\, geography\, and planning with expertise in ageing\, disability studies\, housing\, and neighbourhoods to better understand the challenges and stigma facing older\, disabled people in the places in which they live. Kim has also held editorial roles with interdisciplinary housing journals and is former Chair of the Housing Studies Association: a UK learned society that supports housing education and research across policy\, practice\, and academia. \nImage: “Collaboration” by bre pettis is licensed under CC BY-NC 2.0.

SUMMARY:RESEARCH SEMINAR: Business & Biodiversity
DESCRIPTION:Professor Jan Bebbington\, Lancaster University Business School will join us to discuss business & biodiversity. \nBusinesses are increasingly alert to having to understand and address nature (including biodiversity) matters in their operations and along their supply chains. The seminar will trace the scientific and global governance sources of the norms that influence how corporations are seeking to manage for and provide information on nature and examine salient themes of work that are emerging. This will include a detailed consideration of: corporate led restoration activities; emerging reporting patterns from companies using the Taskforce on Nature-Related Financial Disclosures; and possibilities for landscape level action. Principles of ‘good’ management and reporting on nature will also be presented for discussion and debate during the seminar. \nImage: “The Jungle” by brue’ is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 2.0.

SUMMARY:RESEARCH SEMINAR: Ethnic domination and subaltern resistance: Rituals and games of calculative transparency and secrecy in Malaysia’s whispering fish market
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Soon Yong Ang\, Stirling Business School  \nDrawing on the sociology of secrecy and empirical data from a unique market mechanism in Malaysia—the whispering market—we examine how subaltern resistance is enacted and sustained by creating an alternative market against the ethnically dominating and exploitative calculative system of appropriation known as panggu. Our findings reveal that while marginalised Malay fishermen use secrecy to resist the dominating calculative logic of panggu that Chinese merchants exploit\, these merchants counter the subaltern resistance with their own secrecy tactics\, including gossip and informal cartelisation. This dialectic between resistance and counter-resistance ultimately reduces the whispering market to a ceremonial façade\, diminishing its emancipatory potential for the Malay subaltern. \nBy empirically analysing these complex power dynamics\, this paper provides a nuanced perspective on the interplay between secrecy\, power\, calculative practices\, and subaltern resistance. Furthermore\, it illustrates how the sociology of secrecy offers a valuable theoretical lens for understanding subaltern resistance toward accounting-based control within non-capitalist modes of production in the Global South. \nImage: “Fish” by Vincent-Lin is licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0.

SUMMARY:Misogyny and organisation studies
DESCRIPTION:SMASH welcomes Dr Lauren McCarthy for her talk ‘Misogyny & Organisation Studies’. \nDrawing on feminist philosopher Kate Manne’s understanding of misogyny as a social practice that functions to police women\, this presentation introduces the concepts of ‘organised’ and ‘organisational’ misogyny.  It discusses what these look like empirically\, drawing on examples such as the Manosphere\, and the London Metropolitan police. It concludes by explaining how ‘misogyny’ can be analytically helpful for the study of social relations in organisations. \nDr McCarthy is Director of ETHOS: The Centre for Responsible Enterprise at Bayes Business School. \n  \nFor more information or to receive an invitation for this online session\, please contact Krista Bondy (kb65@stir.ac.uk). \n
