Workshop: Metatheorizing the Knowledge-Based Economy
5-6 July 2006
Please note, this research programme has now concluded and these pages are maintained here as a record of the activities of the Institute for Advanced Studies.
Co-ordinator: Steve Fleetwood
Whilst many of the workshops in this year's programme focused upon empirical,
political, and theoretical issues thrown up around the Knowledge Based
Economy, this one specifically addressed meta-theoretical issues, reflecting
upon the ontological, epistemological, and other metaphysical presuppositions
that underlie many of the empirical, political, and theoretical and claims
made about people, practices, organisations, and indeed, the nature of
knowledge itself.
