PhD Course "Responsible Organising: New perspectives on social inequalities"
At the core of Responsible Organising (RO) is research on how different actors are organising for transformative action towards sustainability, as expressed in the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Responsible Organising (RO) is one of Hanken's four Areas of Strength, which has been evaluated as reaching highest international standard.
Common for RO research is a rejection of the idea that moral concerns and business decisions are something separate. Instead, within RO ethics/morality and business as inseparable, intertwined, and interconnected. Simultaneously it recognizes the complexity, multifacetedness, and intersectionality of societal inequalities.
