Call for papers: Consulting as an academic practice

In a workshop on 12 and 13 December 2024, we aim to delve deeper into consulting as an academic practice and to explore how it can be situated alongside forms of action-oriented, participatory and transdisciplinary research. You are invited to submit an extended abstract of up to 2000 words on this topic before 15 September. Accepted contributions will be presented at the workshop and can be published thereafter.

In an era of increasing complexity and global challenges, consulting seems to become an ever more significant academic practice. The role of scholars as advisors to politics, society, and the economy raises numerous questions. Should scientists aim to remain purely objective or should they try to link their findings to policy? Are they responsible for advocating certain measures amidst the current circumstances of polycrisis? What are other alternatives?
