KEYNOTE SPEAKERS

 

 

 

 

 

 

Steve Fineman is Professor of Organizational Behaviour in the School of Management, University

of Bath.  He has long championed the 'writing in' of emotion to organizational theory and his

publications reflect this theme - such as Emotion in Organizations (1993 and 2000), Understanding

Emotion at Work (2003) and The Emotional Organization: Passion and Power (2007).  He is

wedded to a politicized, social constructionist view, of emotion and harnessing critical theory to

explore the intended and unintended injuries of organized life.

In addition he sits on the editorial boards of several academic journals, and for nearly ten years was the Honorary Secretary of the principal British Philosophical Association, the Aristotelian Society. He is a past chairman of June Fourth, a human rights group concerned with China, and has been involved in UN human rights initiative.
