Action to Improve Representation (AIR) aims to improve representation in management scholarship through programs targeted at early career business and management academics from underrepresented groups in South Asia.
We conduct several initiatives, events and projects to improve social diversity in management academia. Our flagship program is the Writing and Mentorship Program to support business and management scholars from these groups and amplify their scholarship.
Eligibility and Evaluation Criteria
To be eligible, you must be an early career researcher (i.e., in the last year or second last year of Ph.D. to within 5 years after Ph.D.) from underrepresented groups. Preference will be given to women and first-generation graduates within these groups.
All applications that meet the eligibility criteria will be evaluated based on:
· Commitment to research.
· Quality of the proposed idea.
· Preparedness for the program, e.g., suitable prior research experience, writing skills, and training in methods.
However, we encourage all applicants to apply regardless of their preparedness. If you are an eligible scholar, we would love to hear from you.
