Dear Colleague



The Warwick Summer School on Practice and Process Studies

Practice, Process and Issues of Scale in Global Challenges

13-16 July, 2020

University of Warwick, Coventry



Following on from our highly successful Summer Schools in the last seven
years, we are pleased to announce the 2020 Warwick Summer School on
Practice and Process Studies.


The Workshop takes place from Monday 13 July to Thursday 16 July on the
University of Warwick campus, Coventry, UK. The School is programmatically
multi-disciplinary and open to a variety of approaches and sensitivities.
It is organised by  Warwick’s Practice, Process, and Institutions (PPI)
Research Programme in collaboration with the International Symposium Series
on Process Organization Studies (PROS).



The variable theme of this year’s summer school focuses on the issue of
Scale in Global Challenges. An increasing number of scholars is interested
in studying global challenges, such as climate change, poverty, health
technologies, policy making, etc. Capturing such large-scale phenomena can
be a challenge for practice and process scholar:  Should we take a micro or
macro lens? Where should we look? How do we connect small scale and
large-scale phenomena? How about local actions and global actions? In the
summer school, we will advance these discussions in two ways: We will (1)
rethink the methods we use to study phenomena of societal importance, and
(2) shift from scale as a category of analysis to scale as a category of
practice.



This year the school is programmatically aimed at advanced PhDs students
and early career scholars who already have substantial experience with
process and practice approaches in their research.



The attached flyer provides full details for the event which includes
