Home ›Call for young scholars for Regional Co-operative Research Conference in Buenos Aires
The ICA CCR Young Scholars Program, the Young Scholars Initiative Working Group on Co-operatives and Co-operation, and Wageningen University & Research are jointly convening a workshop on Co-operatives and Co-operation.
The objective of the workshop is to give young scholars from different disciplines the opportunity to develop further knowledge and skills on current issues related to Co-operatives and Co-operation as well as to give space for networking and exchange.
The workshop will require preparation (prior reading and writing) as well as active engagement with the work of others during the session. In order to make this as productive as possible we are looking for young scholars, in particular PhD students, whose own research touches upon topics related to co-operatives and economic co-operation, such as the sustainability of the co-operative model, co-operative governance, innovations in co-operation and enterprise, producer organisations, co-operatives and big data, etc. The event will start on Tuesday evening, 3 July.
4 July will be dedicated to a full-day workshop, after which Young Scholars are invited to participate in the ICA Research Conference, taking place on 4 - 6 July in Wageningen, Netherlands (www.wur.eu/ica2018).
Keep looking for updates, as we will be publishing registration procedures, projected costs, and information on reimbursements for travel and accommodation by March.

Call for Papers: The Special Issue 2019 ICA Review of International Cooperation
Cooperative enterprises involve diverse groups of individuals gathering and working toward a common goal. Research has shown that this diversity of voices, backgrounds, and perspectives comes with challenges, but can also be a significant strength for cooperatives. This cooperative advantage can be maximized in cases where governance structures enable inclusive and meaningful engagement from members.
In this Special Issue of the International Co-operative Alliance Review of International Cooperation, the Canadian Association for Studies in Co-operation (CASC) will reflect upon the interplay of diversity, inclusion, and social justice with cooperative enterprises in Canada and beyond. Guest editors of the Special Issue are Fiona Duguid, Sara Elder, Isobel Findlay, Judith Harris, and Derya Tarhan.
Papers are welcomed from scholars, students, researchers, and practitioners submitted before December 1st, 2018. Papers should not exceed 8,000 words. Paper template and referencing should follow the APA style guide. All papers are subject to peer review. Please submit your paper online using this link.
For inquiries, please contact casc.acec@usask.ca
