KATAJA PhD course - Responsible Organising: New Perspectives on Social Inequalities
The course composition consists of pre-readings and pre-writings, lectures, individual mentoring sessions, and written assignment (learning diary, around 3,000 words). The themes will reflect the upcoming RO book - Transformative Action for Sustainable Outcomes: Responsible Organising critically examines sustainability challenges that humankind faces and offers responsible organising as a solution in responding to these challenges.
The book is written for scholars and students across the social sciences and humanities as well as for practitioners working with the SDGs. It discusses complex issues in an informative and engaging way. It is critical and collaborative. The book serves as an introduction to key themes and perspectives of responsible organising and offers new insights on connections between themes and perspectives.
