The Organizing Committee is pleased to present the keynotes of the 6th CRISES International Conference.

MAIN CONFERENCE |Nancy Fraser

Nancy Fraser is Henry A. and Louise Loeb Professor at the New School for Social Research and holder of an international research chair at the Collège d’études mondiales, Paris. Trained as a philosopher, she specializes in critical social theory and political philosophy.

Fraser’s newest book, forthcoming from Verso in 2021, is Cannibal Capitalism: How our System is Devouring Democracy, Communities, and the Planet. Other recent books include Feminism for the 99%: A Manifesto, co-authored with Cinzia Arruzza and Tithi Bhattacharya (Verso, 2019 and in 20 other languages); The Old is Dying (Verso, 2019); and Capitalism: A Conversation in Critical Theory, co-authored with Rahel Jaeggi (Polity Press 2018).

In these works, Fraser has theorized capitalism’s relation to racial oppression, social reproduction, ecological crisis, feminist movements, and the rise of rightwing populism. These themes are also explored in a series of linked essays in New Left Review, Critical Historical Studies, American Affairs, and in Fortunes of Feminism: From State-Managed Capitalism to Neoliberal Crisis(2013). Her other books include Transnationalizing the Public Sphere (2014); Scales of Justice(2008); Adding Insult to Injury: Nancy Fraser Debates her Critics (2008); Redistribution or Recognition?

CLOSING CONFERENCE KEYNOTES | Julie Battilana and Dominique Méda

Julie Battilana is the Joseph C. Wilson Professor of Business Administration in the Organizational Behavior unit at Harvard Business School and the Alan L. Gleitsman Professor of Social Innovation at Harvard Kennedy School, where she is also the founder and faculty chair of the Social Innovation and Change Initiative. She currently teaches the second-year Power and Influence course and previously taught the first-year Leadership and Organizational Behavior (LEAD) course in the MBA program. She also teaches in the doctoral program and inexecutive education offerings.

Professor Battilana's research examines the processes by which organizations and individuals initiate and implement changes that diverge from the taken-for-granted norms in a field of activity. Such divergent changes are particularly challenging to implement because they require not only breaking with existing norms, but also convincing others to rally behind the change. Professor Battilana’s research aims to elucidate what it takes to initiate divergent change, and how to succeed in its implementation. To do so, she has developed two streams of research that address divergent change at different levels of analysis. The first focuses on understanding the conditions that enable individuals to initiate and implement divergent change withintheir organizations. The second examines how organizations themselves can diverge from deeply-seated organizational forms, which, as they become taken-for-granted over time, prescribe the structures and management systems that organizations in a given sector ought to adopt. Studies in this stream reveal the role of hybrid organizing in this process—defined as the activities, structures, processes and meanings by which organizations make sense of and combine multiple organizational forms. Professor Battilana's research focuses on a specific instance of hybrid organizing—social enterprises—that diverge from the established organizational forms of both typical corporations and typical not-for-profits by combining aspects of both at their core. Her work aims to understand how these hybrids can sustainably combine aspects of corporations and not-for-profits at their core and how they can achieve high levels of both social and commercial performance.

She has articles published in the Academy of Management Annals, Academy of Management Journal, Harvard Business Review, Journal of Business Ethics, Leadership Quarterly, Management, Management Science, Organization, Organization Science, Organization Studies, Research in Organizational Behavior, and Strategic Organization.Her research has been featured in publications like Businessweek, Forbes, Huffington Post, and Stanford Social Innovation Review. She was also previously a regular contributor to the French newspaper Le Monde.

A native of France, Professor Battilana earned a B.A. in sociology and economics, an M.A. in political sociology and an M.Sc. in organizational sociology and public policy from Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan. She also holds a degree from HEC Business School, and a joint Ph.D. in organizational behavior from INSEAD and in management and economics from Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan.

Professor Battilana is the author of two books: The Working Manifesto: Democratize, Decommodify, Remediate, co-authored by Isabelle Ferreras and DominiqueMéda (2020. Paris: Le Seuil), published originally in French in October 2020, as well as her forthcoming book titled Power for All:Harnessing The Force That Shapes Our Lives(2021.New York. Simon & Schuster), expected to be released Summer 2021.

Dominique Méda is a graduate of the École Normale Supérieure and the École Nationale d’Administration and an agrégée of philosophy.A member of the Inspection Générale des Affaires Sociales, she was research chair at the French Ministry of Labour from 1993 to 2006, before becoming director of studies at the Centre d’études de l’emploi and then Professor of Sociology at the Université Paris Dauphine-PSL. She is currently the Director of the Institut de Recherche Interdisciplinaire en Sciences Sociales (IRISSO) and co-chair of “Ecological Reconversion, Work, Employment and Social Policies” at the Fondation Maison des sciences de l’homme (FMSH). She is the author or co-author of more than twenty works focusing on labour, employment, social policies and ecological reconversion. Her latest book with Isabelle Ferreras and Julie Battilana,Manifeste Travail.Démocratiser. Démarchandiser. Dépolluer. was published with Seuil in 2020.

Antonio A. Casilli

Antonio A. Casilli is a professor of sociology at Telecom Paris, the telecommunications school of the Institut Polytechnique de Paris. He also leads the seminar “Studying Digital Cultures” at EHESS. He is one of the founders of the ENDL (European Network on Digital Labour).His publications include Les liaisons numériques (Seuil, 2010) and En attendant les robots(Seuil, 2019).

Édith Cloutier and Carole Lévesque

For more than 30 years, Édith Cloutier, member of the Anishinaabe First Nation, has devoted herself to reconciliation between peoples, to the well-being of Indigenous peoples in urban contexts and the defense of First Peoples’ rights. After having earned a bachelor’s degree in accounting, she become Executive Director of the Val-d’Or Native Friendship Centre in 1989. Édith Cloutier has distinguished herself with her dynamic, human and solution-oriented approach. Under her direction, the Centre has become a true hub for novel services for First Peoples. Her efforts have helped the Centre expand and win a number of awards, as in 2010, when it received an honourable mention at the Rights and Freedoms Awards, and in 2017, when it received the Friendship Centres of Excellence award from the National Association of Friendship Centres.

Having been featured in various national and international platforms, Ms. Cloutier is well-known for her devotion to the well-being of Indigenous peoples in urban contexts. Notably, she has served as President of the Regroupement des centres d’amitié autchtones du Québec, as co-director of the ODENA Research Alliance, a partnership and overall support structure for the Indigenous population of Quebec cities, and, since 2014, as co-director of the the DIALOG Réseau de recherche et de connaissances relatives au peoples autchtones. She sat on the Board of Directors of the Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue from 2004 to 2010, becoming the first Indigenous women to serve as President of a Quebec university’s Board of Directors. During her term there, among her other achievements, she contributed to creating the First Peoples Pavilion at UQAT. She currently sits on the executive committee of Canada’s National Association of Friendship Centres and advocates for political recognition of Indigenous rights in urban contexts. Her engagement has been recognized with multiple awards, including Knight of the Ordre national du Quebec (2006), the Order of Canada (2013) and the Prix de la justice du Québec (2016).

She played a deciding role in accompanying many Indigenous women to speak out against the racism and physical and sexual abuse that they suffered from the part of Sûreté du Québec officers. This dedication to accompaniment and the fight for equity and safety for Indigenous women influences her actions, especially because, as she puts it, “it’s thanks to Indigenous women in cities that the work of rebuilding our peoples and our Nations can make progress.”

A full professor at the INRS with a PhD in anthropology from the Sorbonne, Carole Lévesque has dedicated her career to Indigenous issues. She has worked over 45 years in close collaboration with Indigenous communities, organizations and entities, both within and outside of Quebec. Among her other achievements, she has tested and improved numerous formulas for participatory research that is focused on the co-construction of knowledge.

Le comité d'organisation est heureux de vous présenter les conférencières et conférenciers du 6e Colloque international du CRISES. CONFÉRENCE PRINCIPALE | Nancy FraserNancy Fraser est professeure à la New School for Social Research et titulaire de la chaire Henry A. and Louise Loeb ainsi que d’une chaire de recherche internationale au Collège d’études mondiales de Paris. Philosophe de formation, elle se spécialise dans la théorie sociale critique et la philosophie politique.Son plus récent ouvrage, Cannibal Capitalism: How our System is Devouring Democracy, Communities, and the Planet,paraîtra chez Verso en 2021. Fraser a aussi récemment publié Féminisme pour les 99% : un manifeste, en collaboration avec Cinzia Arruzza et Tithi Bhattacharya (Verso, 2019 et traduit dans 20 différentes langues); The Old is Dying(Verso, 2019); et Capitalism: A Conversation in Critical Theory, avec Rahel Jaeggi (Polity Press, 2018).Dans ces ouvrages, Nancy Fraser théorise la relation entre capitalisme et oppression raciale, reproduction sociale, crise écologique, mouvements féministes et montée du populisme de droite. Elle explore aussi ces thèmes dans une série d’essais parus dans la New Left Review, le Critical Historical Studies, l’American Affairs, et l’ouvrage Fortunes of Feminism: From State-Managed Capitalism to Neoliberal Crisis(2013). Elle est aussi l’autrice de Transnationalizing the Public Sphere (2014); Scales of Justice(2008); Adding Insult to Injury: Nancy Fraser Debates her Critics (2008); Redistribution or Recognition?A Political-Philosophical Exchange,en collaboration avec Axel Honneth (2003); Justice Interruptus (1997) et Unruly Practices (1989).L’œuvre de Nancy Fraser a été traduite dans plus de vingt langues et a été citée à deux reprises par la Cour suprême brésilienne (dans le cadre de décisions concernant le mariage pour tous et toutes et l’action positive). Chevalier de la Légion d’honneur, membre de l’American Academy of Arts and Sciences et ancienne présidente de l’American Philosophical Association, Division de l’Est, Fraser a reçu six diplômes honorifiques, le prix international Nessim Habif de l’Université de Genève, le prix Havens/Wright Center Lifetime Award for Contribution to Critical Scholarship de l’Université du Wisconsin, ainsi que le prix Alfred Schutz en philosophie sociale de l’American Philosophical Association. CONFÉRENCE DE CLÔTURE | Julie Battilana et Dominique MédaJulie Battilana est professeure titulaire de la chaire de gestion Joseph C. Wilson dans l’unité de comportement organisationnel de la Harvard Business School, ainsi que de la chaire d’innovation sociale Alan L. Gleitsman de la Harvard Kennedy School. Elle y préside la Social Innovation and Change Initiative, qu’elle a elle-même fondée. Dans le cadre du programme MBA, Battilana donne présentement le cours de deuxième année « Power and Influence », et a précédemment offert le cours de première année « Leadership and Organizational Behavior (LEAD) ». Elle enseigne également au niveau doctoral ainsi que dans les programmes d’« executive education ».Dans le cadre de ses recherches, Battilana étudie les procédés par lesquels les organisations et les individus réussissent à entreprendre et à mettre en œuvre des changements qui divergent des normes établies dans des secteurs d’activités donnés. Ce type de changement s’avère particulièrement ardu puisqu’il nécessite non seulement de s’affranchir des normes en place, mais aussi de convaincre et de rallier différents acteurs. En développant deux axes de recherche pour analyser ces changements à différents niveaux, Battilana tente d’élucider les mécanismes nécessaires à leur amorce et à leur mise en place. Le premier axe s’intéresse aux conditions qui poussent des individus à entreprendre et à mettre en œuvre un changement au sein de leur organisation. Le second axe se penche davantage sur les manières dont les organisations elles-mêmes divergent de formes organisationnelles bien ancrées, depuis longtemps incontestées, qui forgent les structures et systèmes de gestions adoptés par un secteur donné. Les recherches orientées par ce second axe mettent en lumière le rôle de l’organisation hybride qui est définie comme suit : « les activités, structures, processus et définitions par lesquels les organisations comprennent et combinent différentes formes organisationnelles ». Battilana s’intéresse particulièrement à l’exemple des entreprises sociales comme forme d’organisation hybride. Celles-ci divergent à la fois du modèle entrepreneurial que de celui des organismes à but non lucratif, tout en se fondant sur des éléments de ces deux modèles. La chercheuse tente de comprendre comment ces organisations hybrides réussissent à concilier de manière durable ces différents aspects, tout en maintenant des performances sociale et commerciale de haut niveau.Julie Battilana a publié dans l’Academy of Management Annals, l’Academy of Management Journal, le Harvard Business Review, le Journal of Business Ethics, leLeadership Quarterly, le M@n@gement, le Management Science, l’Organization, l’Organization Science, l’Organization Studies, le Research in Organizational Behavior et le Strategic Organization.Son travail a aussi été présenté dans différentes publications telles que Businessweek, Forbes, Huffington Post et Stanford Social Innovation Review.
