Symposium: History, methodology, and historical organization studies: Lessons learned while collecting and interpreting historical data

The goal of this professional development workshop (PDW) is to foster a practical discussion on methodology in historical organization studies (HOS). By methodology (in HOS), we mean the variety of techniques, methods and ideologies on offer to collect, handle and interpret historical data in order to emplot it into one of many narrative forms (White, 1985). Maclean, Harvey and Clegg (2016, p. 609) define HOS as “organizational research that draws extensively on historical data, methods, and knowledge to promote historically informed theoretical narratives attentive to both disciplines.” HOS scholars will share their unique experiences, novel insights, and lessons learned while collecting and interpreting historical data. We invite colleagues from all career stages to share their tales of the field of HOS and encourage our contemporaries of their participation.
