Careers CAR

 

The Hughes award recognizes scholarship which has made a significant contribution to the task of linking careers theory with the broader field of organization studies.

 

It is the Careers Division's premier award, a way of honouring those of our colleagues who have worked to build bridges between careers and other areas of organizational enquiry. The aim of this award is to acknowledge the work of scholars who have forged, rather than severed, connections between careers and other fields of social inquiry. The award carries, with the permission of his family, the name of Everett Cherrington Hughes. It does so to commemorate his seminal role in establishing careers as an object of scholarly study, but more particularly because it rewards the kind of contribution his work embodied. Past recipients of the award are: Ed Schein, Tim Hall and Lotte Bailyn.
