We are excited to share our call for submissions for the "Re-generating Worlds: Turning to Questions of Ontology"stream at the upcoming International Conference in Management Studies (ICMS 2025).

• Insights into Indigenous ontologies and alternative forms of organizing
• Analyses of technology, posthuman futures, and organizational dynamics
• Perspectives from feminist, decolonial, and ecological ontologies
• Multi-species and interspecies ethics and practices in organizations
• The ontological consequences of ecological concerns
Convenor Team: Stephanie Daher, James Scott Vandeventer, Rowland Curtis, and Damian O'Doherty
