Submission window: March 31, 2021 through May 31, 2021

Overview
The purpose of this special issue is to collect and promote research that examines forms of organized immaturity in contemporary society. The phenomenon of organized immaturity is a manifestation of a human condition that results from the erosion of the autonomy of the individual and is advanced by socio-technological systems and their surveillance and control mechanisms. We seek conceptual, normative, or empirical studies that identify, analyse and critique current technical and social sources of organized immaturity and develop solutions for resisting new forms of surveillance and control. In line with the disciplinary and thematic scope of BEQ, we invite authors to consider the role of (business) organizations and organizing in both control and emancipation of the individual in business and society, and to analyse possible ethical implications. The full call can be found here: https://doi.org/10.1017/beq.2020.15 (deadline: May 31, 2021)
In November 2020 the guest editors will convene a virtual workshop designed to provide developmental guidance to authors of prospective submissions (deadline for the submission of proposals/extended abstracts: Sept. 15, 2020). Consult the full call linked above for details.
