In 2016 the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences (CASBS) revived its storied history of summer institutes that have had transformative effects on a variety of social science fields, including behavioral economics, the study of contentious politics, and economic sociology.
The institute on “Organizations and Their Effectiveness” in 2016, offered again in 2017, not only re-engaged a legacy, but sought to build upon it with larger aims and ambitions. Its successful efforts earned well-deserved attention from Stanford News.
The CASBS summer institute on organizations is back for a third consecutive year in 2018, taking place from July 9 to July 21. The Center is proud to acknowledge the institute’s co-sponsors: Stanford’s Dean of Research, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Stanford Graduate School of Business, the Hoover Institution, the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research, and philanthropist and business leader Paul Ricci.
Institute participants are young scholars (ranging from late-stage graduate students to advanced assistant professors) whose careers studying organizations are underway, and who have demonstrated an interest in and an aptitude for expanding their thinking about organizations towards other disciplines. An important part of the institute is that it is interdisciplinary; it brings together a cohort of highly promising young researchers from a wide range of fields and universities.
From a large and highly competitive pool of applicants, institute co-directors Bob Gibbons (Sloan School of Management and Economics, MIT; CASBS fellow 1994-95 and 2014-15) and Woody Powell (Graduate School of Education and Sociology, Stanford; CASBS fellow 1986-87 and 2008-09) are pleased to announce the 2018 participants.
