OCE RESEARCH CENTER
OCE Research Center was founded in 2004 to support the development of critical qualitative and ethnographic research on contemporary organizational issues. We are a collective of Ph.D. and faculty members moved by values of conviviality and engagement. We share the idea that doing research in the current highly competitive and productivity-driven environment supposes the construction and maintenance of strong collectives. We organize two monthly seminar series: OCE paper workshop is developmental and focuses on the discussion of research papers written by members. OCE talk features presenters from outside of the school who visit the center to share their research.
