As a Louis O. Kelso Fellow, Dr. Van Doel, will be attending the Mid-Year Fellows Workshop in Honor of Louis O. Kelso.  This years theme is Broad Based Employee Ownership Research and Policy Development.

The purpose of the annual workshop is to study broad-based forms of capital ownership and capital income such as employee stock ownership, equity compensation, profit-sharing, gain sharing, and worker cooperatives in the corporation.  The workshop also explores approaches to broadened citizen capital ownership, “second income”, and dividend funds for citizens in the society in the United States.  The workshop provides an opportunity for scholars to present research in progress, receive mutual mentoring and feedback, work on joint research projects and publications, and meet foundation officials and publishers interested in this scholarship.  The workshop convenes members of the research Fellowship Program of the Institute for the Study of Employee Ownership and Profit Sharing.

The workshop will span two and a half days, with over 80 participants presenting academic research concerning employee ownership and worker cooperatives.
