Organization &
Environment is recognized as a leading international journal for ecosocial research and is unique in its emphasis on organizations, institutions, and nature. Ecosocial research refers to any interdisciplinary study of social organizing as it relates to the natural world. Accordingly, Organization & Environment publishes work that focuses on connections between the natural environment (including animals, plants, air, water, land, and other ecological entities and systems) and formal and informal patterns of organizing (including human production and consumption, human service, and environmental protection and advocacy). O&E contributors are concerned with environmental damage, restoration, sustainability, and liberation in relation to their complex social causes and consequences.
Organization &
Environment publishes high-quality, peer-reviewed work underwritten by diverse epistemological positions in a variety of formats and innovative features.
Academic Research Articles that make substantive empirical, theoretical, methodological and/or philosophical contributions are featured in O&E. Each academic research article makes its contribution to the existing literature clear and demonstrates an understanding of the history of research on the topic.
Other Regular Features:
- Archives of Organizational and Environmental Literature
- Art and the Natural Environment (Literary Ecology and Ecocriticism)
- Book, Film, Music, and other Media Reviews
- Citation Classics and Foundational Works

RECOMMENDATIONS OF ORGANIZATION &
ENVIRONMENTAL SCHOLARS
"Unique in format and focus, Organization &
Environment addresses the issues that matter most today, and the only issues that may matter tomorrow. Visionary, insightful, rigorous, poetic, and passionate, O&E is fresh and unfettered. Refusing to relegate the environment to the stuff of crude proxies in organizational analysis, Organization & Environment instead assails us with its richness, relevance, and reality, and it gives us pause."
-- Ray Aldag, University of Wisconsin
(USA)
"The future of ecological politics is not going to be
decided in the circles of the established political institutions.
It is precisely new coalitions among organizations, consumers,
governmental agencies and NGO's that we should be looking for ...
Organization & Environment, therefore, is
a welcome new stage on which long overdue discussions of
ecological subpolitics can take place."
-- Ulrich Beck, University of Munich (Germany)
"The 'environment' has been trivialized in organizational
analysis. Sundered from the natural environment, the term is
attached to organizations (as 'organizational environment') and is
abstracted to deal with general and ungrounded properties. With the launch of Organization &
Environment this approach ended. At last, the natural environment is being claimed as a proper subject for Organizational Studies. Organization &
Environment is an endeavor much to be welcomed."
-- Stewart Clegg, University of Technology,
Sydney (Australia)
"In just a few years Organization & Environment
has become a major forum for scholarship in environmental sociology and environmental social science more generally. It has proven to be open to
a wide range of perspectives, publishing a diverse mix of both empirical
and theoretical work. The editor has done a particularly good job of
publishing pieces that stimulate theoretical debates. Add in the unique
sections on "Citations Classics and Foundational Works" and "Art and the
Natural Environment," plus film and book reviews, and you have a publication
that inevitably delivers much stimulating material each quarter. I strongly recommend a subscription."
-- Riley E. Dunlap, Oklahoma State University
(USA)
"Organization & Environment is a truly groundbreaking journal that spans the environmental social sciences and humanities, traversing discussions of geopolitics and political economy, culture (including art and film) and technology, religion and philosophy, social movements and political ideologies. I know of no other journal that has succeeded in tackling environmental questions in such a rounded and accomplished manner, revealing the extraordinarily multidimensional character of environmental concerns."
--Robyn Eckersley, University of Melbourne (Australia)
"Many of us concerned with environmental issues routinely extol
the virtues - and expound the necessity - of multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives on complex environmental issues. Organization & Environment takes this call
seriously. Issue by issue,O&E is proving
itself to be a top quality resource and the most genuinely wide-ranging environmentally-related journal around."
-- Warwick Fox, University of Central Lancashire
(UK)
"Organization & Environment is an important
and timely journal because many of the organizationally-based
environmental problems predicted in the past have now been
confirmed. Global climate change, ozone depletion, the loss of old
growth forest, and the demise of fish populations, once denied and
disputed, are all evident now. Organizations are the source of
these problems. And, our capacity to solve them is also based in
organizations. To insure the survival of our species and other
species, and to preserve a world which will be worth inheriting,
we must act now. As academics, we needed a journal to address these
challenges."
-- Robert Gephart, University of Alberta
(Canada)
"Engaging with Organization & Environment
is a delight. This innovative journal integrates all
dimensions of ecological and social organization, including
political economy, business, art, and philosophy. From citizen
activism to the global ecological crisis, from animal rights to
ecofeminism, from the evaluation of classical texts to critical
reviews of recent work, Organization & Environment
is a premier vehicle for exploring new ideas about
nature and society. Anyone wishing to understand more fully the
many dimensions of humanity's relationship to the earth will be well
rewarded."
-- Carolyn Merchant, University of California,
Berkeley (USA)
"Organization & Environment sets an unprecedented standard of
transcending lip service to interdisciplinarity with a truly
catholic approach to the tackling of environmental problems.
Exemplary in its combination of theory, classical and empirical
social science, the humanities, and the arts, Organization &
Environment is armed with a unique repertoire of intellectual
weapons to attack the deeply complex phenomenon we call the
environment. It stands out as a jewel among our printed resources."
-- Eugene Rosa, Washington State University (USA)
"A great journal with fresh perspectives; it addresses
needs that nothing in the literature satisfies."
-- Kristin Shrader-Frechette, University of
Notre Dame (USA)
"The central challenge for organizations in the 21st century
will be to establish a sustainable balance with their natural
environment. Organizations and organizational scholars need a deep
understanding of the environmental impacts of economic activities.
Organization & Environment is playing an
important role in fostering that understanding. It is publishing
rigorous research which is stimulating debate and generating
practical strategies."
-- Paul Shrivastava, Bucknell University

INFORMATION
FOR CONTRIBUTORS
All submissions to
O&E will be evaluated by
the editors or feature editors and anonymous reviewers using a
double-blind review process. The format and style of written works
should normally follow the guidelines of the PUBLICATION MANUAL
OF THE AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION (current edition). (Some
works may need to be formatted and stylized differently depending
on the author's substantive and aesthetic objectives).
O&E 's editors will use
clarity, conciseness, and overall quality of writing as criteria
in determining the appropriateness of work for publication.
Authors should strive to present their work succinctly and with a
minimum of jargon. Normally, work submitted for review should not
exceed 8,000 words; on some occasions, we will initiate review of
works that are 10,000 words or longer. In such cases, the work
must demonstrate unusual merit and serve as a model of in-depth
research and thorough-going analysis. All submissions should be
accompanied by a letter that briefly explains the nature of the
contribution, an abstract of no more than 150 words, a
biographical paragraph of 75 words or less, and a list of six key
words.
In addition to following APA style, manuscripts should
generally conform--although exceptions will be made particularly
in the case of artistic work--to the following guidelines.
Everything (text, abstract, biographical paragraph, endnotes,
block quotations, etc.) should be double-spaced. Underlining should be used for
italics; no bold should be used. Everything should be left-justified with a ragged right-hand margin (no full justification). All in-text citations should be
included in the reference list; all references should have in-text
citations. Each section (title page, abstract, text, appendix,
notes, references, tables, figures) should begin on a
separate page. Endnotes should be used instead of footnotes.
Written signed permission for any copyrighted material
incorporated into the manuscript should be obtained where
necessary and should accompany the final manuscript. The title
page should include all authors' names, mailing addresses, phone
numbers, fax numbers, e-mail addresses, and any other pertinent contact information.
Send two (2) copies of all submissions and one electronic copy on a 3 1/2 inch diskette, CD or email, formatted in Microsoft Word or WordPerfect 8 (or higher) to:
