About the Summer School
The Summer School is a yearly initiative aimed at the diffusion, development, and advancement of practice-based studies. Our ethos is to be inclusive and open, and we aim to create a temporary learning community characterized by open dialogue, discussion, and joint exploration.
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). This year the event is coordinated by Katharina Dittrich and Mira Slavova. The School has been running yearly since 2013. Past directors include Hari Tsoukas, Maja Korica, Ila Bharatan and Davide Nicolini.
The program of the Summer School covers state-of-the-art understandings of practice and process studies (2 days) and a variable theme (1 day) with relevance to current debates.
State-of-the-art Understandings
The first two days of the program will cover the latest advancements in thinking about and the doing of practice and process studies. Attendees will have the opportunity to share their work during ‘research clinics’ and receive feedback on their work from peers and seasoned faculty including:

2022 Theme: Studying Emotion or Effect
Each summer school we consider an advanced theme in practice and process studies. This year we will explore the study of emotion and affect. Given the multidisciplinary nature of the summer school we will debate how theories of, and empirical research on, emotion and affect intersect and differ. We are pleased to announce that Charlene Zietsma Professor, Smeal College of Business, Pennsylvania State University, will speak to us about her work on emotional energy and emotions in organizations. Paul Stenner, Professor of Social Psychology at The Open University will talk about his work on theorising emotion and affect, and the emotional organization. In addition, Professor Marianna Fotaki, Warwick Business School, will share insights from her work on the importance of thinking critically about emotion and affect in organization studies.
