The 8th Making Projects Critical Workshop will be hosted by Newcastle University January 21-22, 2016. Organised by Neil Alderman, Chris Ivory, Damian Hodgson, Svetlana Cicmil, Monica Lindgren and Johann Packendorff, the workshop will inquire into ways in which a richer, creative dialogue between critical perspectives and the conventional rationalistic view of project management can be developed. In order that the various critiques of the conventional project management body of knowledge can be made meaningful and useful to those such as project managers who work closely with, and struggle with the demands of, project-based organisation and who are trying to find fairer, more acceptable and participative/democratic ways of coping with their roles, we invite authors to consider the implications of their analyses for practice and practicing project managers. What are the reactions of practitioners to the ‘making projects critical’ agenda?
