New SHOC Monograph Series: Organizational Behaviour in Healthcare

Call for Expressions of Interests & Proposals

The Palgrave Organizational Behaviour in Healthcare monograph series has published highly successful monographs following the bi-annual OBHC conference, with the theme and papers draw from the conference. Given the growth of scholarly and policy interest in healthcare organization and management, the monograph is now to be extended to include additional edited collections and single-authored books that apply cutting edge social science theories and methods to priority topics in the fields of health policy, organization and management. The extended monography series will provide an opportunity for established and early career scholars to propose research monographs and edited collections on prominent themes and debates in the study of healthcare organization and management.

Outline proposals to series editors by end of August 2017

The series is edited by Prof. Jean-Louis Denis (Université de Montréal: jean-louis.denis@umontreal.ca) and Prof. Justin Waring (University of Nottingham: Justin.Waring@nottingham.ac.uk).

Further reading is available here.

The 2017 AGM will be held on Monday 19 June at 1100 at Said Business School, Oxford.  Further details will shortly be made available.

5. Call for nominations fo Fellows of the Academy of Social Sciences (AcSS)
The SHOC AcSS Nominations Panel is making a call for nominations from the membership for the award of the Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences of which SHOC is a constituent member as a Learned Society. SHOC has a standard procedure for the nomination of such Fellows to ensure transparency and due process. We notify all members via our News Bulletin for nominations. Those forthcoming are then discussed by SHOC’s AcSS nominations panel, which is a sub-group of SHOC officers, which includes at least one existing Fellow. Finally, nomination papers are then prepared for forwarding to AcSS and later decision by their nominations panel.

Please forward any nominations with a letter of support to Professor Sue Dopson (sue.dopson@sbs.ox.ac.uk ), chair of SHOC’s nomination panel. As the AcSS clarifies, the “paramount requirement for successful nomination is evidence of eminence and impact of the nominee’s contribution to social science”. There should be a proposer and a seconder and the nominee should have consented to have been put forward.

Full details of the ACSS’ criteria, process and timetable for considering nominations is available at https://www.acss.org.uk/membership/making-nomination-fellow/
