📢 CALL FOR PAPERS for the Research Group on Collaborative Spaces (RGCS) Symposium 2025 by REMAKING project. 📑 “In-betweenness”: spatial and temporal perspectives on working and organizing. 💡 In today’s rapidly evolving world of work, the traditional boundaries of time, space, and roles are blurring. The rise of remote work (Barrero et al., 2021; Petani & Mengis, 2023; Biagetti et al., 2024), the prevalence of platform technologies (Kellogg et al., 2020), and the increasing mobility of people (Costas, 2013) have compelled scholars to delve into new ways of working and organizing that surpass traditional “static” models, to observe more dynamic processes, contexts, and mechanisms. 🔎 In the RGCS 2025 Symposium, we seek to explore these tensions and potentials inherent to the concept of “in-betweenness” by focusing on the (partially still) hidden work and organizing practices that emerge at the intersection of physical spaces, digital tools, and social dynamics. 👨🎓 We welcome both theoretical and empirical studies from multiple fields (organization and management studies, media studies, urban geography, sociology of work, anthropology of work and organizations, psychology, information systems, economic geography, architecture, urban planning, and more). Both academics and practitioners (consultants, artists, activists, entrepreneurs, etc.) are invited to submit abstracts. ⏳ KEY DATES: Submission deadline for extended abstract (1000 words, about 3 pages): October 27th Notification of acceptance: November 15th Registration for presenters and auditors: November 16th (until December 9th):  Link will be shared on November 16 on our website RGCS Symposium 2025: January 23rd - 24th Submit your abstract via THIS FORM👇 https://lnkd.in/dKfgZWgG More on the Research Group on Collaborative Spaces Symposium 👇 https://rgcs-owee.org/ More about the REMAKING project 👇 https://lnkd.in/eFk2A6Tb
