Dear Colleagues,
Please find attached call for papers for a Paper Development Workshop on 8-9 December to be hosted by the University of Liverpool.
Workshop objectives and Format
We will have a $B!F(Blive$B!G(B face-to-face workshop. The workshop will be structured to provide extensive feedback and hands-on mentoring to participants (early career scholars and doctoral students) whose research proposals have been accepted by the workshop organizers. Throughout the workshop, leading scholars and editors will serve as mentors for participants, help them to develop their research ideas, suggest publication techniques, and generally provide a supportive scholarly environment. It is not simply a short feedback session but will also provide people with plenty of time for discussion, reflection and progression so that the participants could improve their work significantly at the end of the event.
The programme will have three components. First, participants will be allocated into small groups, each group consisting of three participants and one mentor. Each mentor will lead the small-group discussions, provide detailed feedback and hands-on mentoring. Second, there will be two plenary sessions, one on the research agenda of the field and one $B!F(BMeet the Editors$B!G(B panel. Third, there will be a range of structured and unstructured activities (e.g. $B!F(Bspeed-dating$B!G(B, campus/Liverpool tour, workshop dinner night) to offer chances for networking among participants and mentors.

Topics of Interest
We invite papers related to the impact of Brexit and the Covid-19 pandemic on the management and organisation of PSFs to enrich our understanding, not only about their adverse effects, but also about the many opportunities. For example, we envisage research leading to the development of novel approaches contributing towards improving individual and organisational performance and achieving social prosperity. We are also interested in how PSFs influence the post-Brexit/Covid-19 world in positive and negative ways, and how they are linked to societal challenges in the broader political economy.
We are interested in, and welcome a wide range of professions and knowledge-intensive organisations including law, accounting, architecture, healthcare, management consulting, financial service, advertising, information and communication, R&D, the clergy and education. Themes include but are not limited to: strategy, managerial systems, labour relations, governance structure, organisational models and structures, professional identity, professional projects, micro-organisational issues of PSFs, professionals$B!G(B career paths and mobility, diversity and inclusion in professions, internationalisation and global PSFs, new/emerging professions and organisations, hybridity and logics of PSFs, professional misconduct and wrongdoing.
