There was a quite successful and competitive response to the call for contributions to the AOS Workshop on “Performing business and social innovation through accounting inscriptions”, Galway, Ireland, 22-24 September 2013, a workshop sponsored by Accounting, Organizations and Society, organized by Cristiano Busco (NUI Galway), Paolo Quattrone (University of Edinburgh) and Fabian Muniesa (Mines ParisTech) — see a previous post here.

The organizers had the chance to read quite some excellent submitted papers, but had to make some difficult choices in order to accommodate the unfortunately limited conditions of the workshop (some proposals had to be put aside). The workshop will take place at the School of Business and Economics of the National University of Ireland in Galway. Participants are looking forward to what looks like an excellent opportunity to renew the social-scientific repertoire of performativity in and of business.
