ETHOS Seminars and events

Ethos runs a range of events that bring together a wide range of voices.

During term time, we run a friendly, supportive ETHOS seminar for scholars working in the area of responsible enterprise, broadly defined, to present their work in progress or recently published work, for stimulating discussion and development. A list of previous presenters is available on our ‘Past Events’ tab- we are proud to have seen a number of our presenters go on to publish their work in excellent journals. Please contact us if you would like to be added to our mailing list for these events.

Where next for responsible enterprise? Centring equity, equality and plurality

Thursday 16th May 2024, 9:30-6pm (BST) - Bayes Business School (formerly Cass), City University of London

Register here: Where next for responsible enterprise? Centring equity, equality and plurality

This summer, ETHOS The Centre for Responsible Enterprise turns ten years old. In those ten years to say a lot has happened is an understatement. We’ve seen the rise of populism, Brexit, global pandemics, record-breaking temperatures, the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement, and hyper speed shifts in technology, amongst others. The world is looking very different from 2014. Business, workers, communities, and the natural world are facing new challenges as well as the age-old. Yet innovation and activism, thankfully, persist.

To celebrate our 10-year anniversary, ETHOS invites friends old, new and forthcoming to discuss the future of responsible enterprise. In particular, and building on a forthcoming special issue in Human Relations (D’Cruz et al., 2024), we aim to celebrate work which takes the realm of CSR (broadly defined) into a new era, by centring alternative epistemologies, methodologies and theories. By diversifying our perspectives, centring the environment, and studying the micro contexts of those who interact with business and their activities, we hope to enable a more critical and productive space for scholarship.

The panel sessions and keynotes for this event will be run as hybrid and streamed via Zoom.
