Hello Colleagues,
If you are planning on attending the Academy of Management Annual Meeting in Chicago in August, please consider joining us for our PDW Addressing Impact: A Practical Path Forward for DEI Scholarship Amid Volatility, Saturday, August 10th, 12:00 PM-1:30 PM Hyatt, Comiskey.
This exploratory PDW challenges faculty, students, and practitioners to consider and address the meaning of impact in the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) space. Amid perpetually volatile environments, such as the dismantling of DEI offices and the targeting of scholars by political actors, we offer an arena to discuss how to confront these issues. By engaging faculty, students, and practitioner-scholars in interactive and collaborative discussions, the workshop will explore the impact of DEI on three levels: (1) department, (2) college, and (3) government and corporate. This PDW will include an interactive panel, followed by roundtable discussions with critical reflection on these issues and their role in scholarship and practice. Finally, participants will be given the opportunity to continue the discussion and strategize around DEI in a series of post-PDW workshops.
No need to register, but let us know if you plan/hope to attend here.
You can also add the PDW to your Google calendar here.
