Just out – “Making Space for Art: A Spatial Perspective of Disruptive and Defensive Institutional Work in Venezuela’s Art World” Academy of Management Journal (AMJ) by Victoria Rodner, Thomas Roulet, Finola Kerrigan and Dirk vom Lehn
Announcement, museums, sociologyWe have just published an article based on Victoria Rodner’s excellent PhD thesis in the Academy of Management Journal (AMJ). Drawing on longitudinal ethnographic and interview data the article explore how space is leveraged in institutional work, our study foregrounds the socio-political nature of space, building on and expanding the theorization of Lefebvre.

Abstract
The physical and material aspects of space, such as geographical distance or boundaries, have social and symbolic consequences that impact how people influence and are influenced by institutions. Social actors can however contest how space is conceived, perceived and lived, thus making space a crucial lever in the disruption and defense of institutions. However, we lack understanding of the spatial aspects of such institutional struggles. In exploring how space is leveraged in institutional work, our study foregrounds the socio-political nature of space, building on and expanding the theorization of Lefebvre. We draw on an in-depth longitudinal analysis of the material, social and symbolic aspects of the spatial dimensions of disruptive and defensive institutional work over the past twenty years in Venezuela’s art world. Following the Bolivarian Revolution in the late 1990s, the incoming government transformed the organization of the national cultural landscape, resulting in a prolonged period of institutional disruption and defense. We demonstrate that actors use the material, social, and symbolic dimensions of space to challenge and maintain their key values and practices, and that those three dimensions are intertwined.

SSSI 2019 – THEMATIC PANEL: “SYMBOLIC INTERACTIONISM AND THE RESURGENT INTEREST IN ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT” #SOCIOLOGY #SSSI #ORGANIZATIONSTUDIES #MANAGEMENT update
Announcement, sociology, SSSI, Symbolic Interaction, symbolic interactionismAt the SSSI 2019 in NYC, Patrick McGinty and I organized two panels on “Symbolic Interactionism and the Resurgent Interest in Organization and Management”.
SSSI 2019 – Thematic Panel: “Symbolic Interactionism and the Resurgent Interest in Organization and Management” #sociology #sssi #organizationstudies #management
Announcement, interaction, interactionismAt this year’s conference of the Society for the Study of Symbolic Interaction Patrick McGinty (Western Illinois University) and I will organise a Thematic Panel titled “Symbolic Interactionism and the Resurgent Interest in Organization and Management”.
The panel has been motivated by recent publications on the influence of interactionist research on and contribution to management and organisation studies. These publication have highlighted the curious mutual disregard of interactionism and organisational analysis and management studies. This panel will bring together interactionist scholarship that over recent years has undertaken considerable efforts in bringing the debates in these areas together and pushing forward the interactionist research of management and organization, both through theorizing and research.
More details on the panel’s speakers and presentations have been published in the SSSI 2019 Programme.

New Online Course on Communication Skills in Optometry #optometry #training #communication
Announcement, experience, optometryThe College of Optometrists has recently launched a new online course on communication skills in optometry. The course, open to members of the College of Optometrists only, is aimed at newly qualified members and those returning to work. It will take participants through the stages of an eye examination and look at ways to improve communication skills. One non-interactive CET point is available and communication and standards of practice competencies are covered.
Good communication can increase patient confidence in your knowledge and skills and result in greater patient satisfaction. It can also lead to more accurate test results and improved compliance with treatment plans.
In this course you will cover the key stages of the eye examination:
· meeting the patient
· understanding patients’ concerns
· carrying out clinical tests
· delivering findings
· ensuring patient compliance
· patient-centred care.
Activities are followed by hints and tips sections on open and closed questions and active listening.
This course is based on the results of research projects undertaken by King’s College London, the Institute of Education and the College of Optometrists from 2009 onwards. The projects investigated how optometrists conduct eye examinations and how their findings were communicated to patients.
Publications from the projects can be found HERE.
A description of the Knowledge Transfer Project funded by the ESRc and the College of Optometrists can be found HERE.
