The series is co-edited by Daniel Hjorth (Lund University School of Economics and Management and Copenhagen Business School) and Damian O'Doherty (University of Liverpool), who has previously been a Hamrin Visiting Researcher at the ABC Centre.
The series sets out to radically re-imagine management studies, moving away from outdated models of rationality to embrace emotion, passion, empathy and the unexpected. Drawing on feminist science, new materialism, post-humanist approaches, ecological thinking and decolonial perspectives, the books invite authors to pursue ideas as far as they can go, whether towards logical or absurdist conclusions. Topics range from crime and gardening to football, wine, the menopause, urban walking and military uniforms.
The series opens in March 2027 with three volumes on the themes of Crime, Menopause, and Lies: the last of these written by Johan Alvehus of Lund University School of Economics and Management.
To mark the occasion, the ABC Centre will host a Book Launch Party in March 2027. More details to follow.
