ISPSO 2025: Navigating Conflict in Contemporary Organizations

Organizations are made up of people, so conflict within them is hardly unusual – it can even be a necessary part of meaningful collaboration. But in a highly polarized, digital, and volatile era, where the line between “the world” and “the organization” may be thinning, do we need new ways to define and approach organizational conflict?

Debbie Bing and Eliza Orleans explore this question and consider potential responses at ISPSO 2025 – the hybrid gathering devoted to the study of organizations, with a special focus this year on questions of justice and fairness. I’m honoured to be moderating Eliza & Debbie’s session – Saturday June 28th, 9.30am-11am Eastern – and it’s not too late to register for the conference, in-person or online.
