How can critical management scholars actively facilitate peace in an environment where unprecedented events threaten to fracture and polarize scholarly communities? This plenary session will delve into the intersection of peace, and critical management and organization studies (MOS) by exploring the pivotal role that the field’s theories and practices can play in fostering a culture of peace within diverse workplaces and broader society. In an era marked by life changing global challenges and other rapid societal transformations, the ethical/moral obligation for scholars and organizations to actively contribute to peace cannot be understated. Hence, this plenary session aims to unravel the ways in which the field of critical management and organization studies can help scholars and other social actors to envision, design, share and implement initiatives that contribute to peace within organizations and societies across the world on a sustainable basis.
