Organising Care, Labour and Employment is identified as an area of particular strength and interest across the University. CIRCLE is keen to consider how it can bring together, support and enhance a theme in this area, including through opportunities for new collaborations, impact, and career development.

Dr Diane Burns, Co-I ESRC Centre for Care and Senior Lecturer in Organisation Studies in the Management School, invites colleagues to map our disciplinary and cross-disciplinary research interests in these thematic areas and start planning research collaborations.

The remit of the theme is open to all colleagues with research interests in any aspect of organising, labour and employment in social care and related health settings. This may include, but is not limited to, research or activity concerning:

• the organising effect of social structures (e.g. economy and finance, law, regulation, policy, cultural norms etc.);
• processes (e.g. building and service design, organisational culture and change, digital technologies, management systems and work roles, power, conflict and politics and interconnected activities);
• dynamics (e.g. workplace identities, emotions, behaviours, practices) of care relationships, people, services, systems.
