What is CMS for and what might its future be- both inside the domain of academia and outside it? It's a question that has beguiled and frustrated academics within and outside its community. At the hear of CMS is an enduring skepticism concerning the social and ecological sustainability of prevailing ideas and forms of management and organization. Using ideas from feminist and queer theory, authors of this volume aim to generate some thinking and possibly a nascent agenda. It focuses on the future of CMS but also intertwines it with ideas as to how scholarly communities can engage in working lives differently.

BUSINESS & ECONOMICS / General

"Written as constructive critique from within the Critical Management Studies project, this volume demonstrates the urgency of multiple contemporary strands of feminism and queer theory for keeping CMS relevant and alert to the challenges of our times. The authors succeed in going beyond arm chair critiques and propose actual practical changes, providing novel ideas for alternative practices of researching, teaching and writing, for embodied politics, and activist organizing. Some do not shy away from hard conversations and confrontational politics, showing the joy in acting as 'kill joys'. Others venture into radically different, fascinating new forms of scholarship and learning. I highly recommend this collection of dialogues to anyone longing to make a critical difference."
