Symposium on Mary Parker Follet
Interesting events at AOM 2025 - No. 1
We are delighted to invite you to our AOM 2025 symposium:
“Reclaiming Mary Parker Follett: Inspiring Research for Addressing Contemporary Challenges”
📅 Sunday, July 27 | 3:30–5:00 PM CEST
📍 Bella Center, Hall B – B3-m9
Mary Parker Follett’s legacy—often remembered and forgotten in cycles—deserves deeper engagement within the canon of management history. This panel confronts those patterns of misremembering and explores how we can honor and integrate Follett's ideas more thoughtfully in contemporary scholarship.
🎤 Panelists include:
Linda Putnam (UC Santa Barbara), Hannah Riley Bowles (Harvard Kennedy School), Wendy Smith(University of Delaware), Barbara Simpson (Strathclyde Business School), Bente Elkjaer (Aarhus University), Rebecca Bednarek (Victoria University of Wellington)
Join us for a lively discussion on how Follett's pragmatism, integrative thinking, and organizational philosophy can shape future directions in historical inquiry and interdisciplinary theorizing.
