PDW: Bringing Research (and Researchers) to Life Through a Systems Psychodynamic Approach
If you are interested in developing your capacity to use the systems psychodynamic approach in your research, please consider attending this PDW on Friday, July 25, 2025 from 11:00AM to 2:00PM CEST at Bella Center in Hall C- C2-m2- Ground Floor
Organizers: Heidi Brooks, Stephanie Creary, Robin Ely, Michael Jarrett, Bill Kahn, Sally Maitlis, Sanaz Mombasseri, Jennifer Petriglieri, Gianpiero Petriglieri and Lizzie Sheprow
The systems psychodynamic approach explores unconscious dimensions of novel or problematic features of organizations and organizing processes, and offers a new perspective on many of the issues we're studying in management. We find that people are intrigued by it but often unsure how to bring it to their research-hence the PDW!
The PDW is structured in two parts: (1) an introduction to systems psychodynamics, which is open to all; (2) an opportunity for those who pre-register to apply this lens to a current or prospective piece of their own research and discuss it in small groups.
Those interested in receiving feedback on a specific research project will need to submit a 500-word summary by 15 July to Sanaz Mobasseri at s.mobasseri@ucl.ac.uk.
All are welcome to attend, and we hope to see you there.
