4423 - Developing and Testing Creative Synergies between the Sociology of Mental Health and Organizations, Occupations, and Work

Session Submission Type: Paper Session 100min

Description

The objective of this section is to bring together students and scholars searching for creative synergies between the sociology of mental health and organizations, occupations, and work. What are the challenging research questions that fuse theoretical and empirical perspectives in both areas? How can our research advance knowledge in these areas? All papers that pose compelling research questions that attempt to bridge these two areas--and test them empirically--are welcome. The submission of conceptual and theoretical papers that advance a creative synergy of these two areas is also encouraged.
