POLITICAL INFLUENCE, PUBLIC AFFAIRS, AND THE PROMOTION OF SOCIAL REPAIR
Saturday, August 9th, from 3:00 pm - 5:30 pm, in the Marriott (Orange County 4).
How do political influence and public affairs promote and retard social repair--that is, the process of fixing critical social problems, such as climate change, poverty, sweatshop labor, and racial discrimination? This PDW will focus on the "questions we ask" about how social movements, corporate political activity, and public affairs management in firms either contributes to or inhibits the processes of social repair.
This PDW will have two parts. In the first part, presenters will critically analyze contributions made to date in theory development, in empirical research, and in applied work on the promotion and/or inhibition of social repair. The presentations will seek to identify those areas that: a) We have made progress in, b) We have addressed but not made much progress in, and c) We have failed to even address--that is, where significant gaps in our efforts to achieve social repair remain most salient. The ultimate goal of these presentations will be to initiate an understanding of social repair, and produce valid and reliable description of phenomena in this area. In the second part, scholars in attendance, including both the presenters and attendees, will collaboratively focus in smaller break-out groups on some part of the theoretical/empirical/practical issues and attempt to make progress on it by generating new thinking about approaches to those issues.
It is intended that those attending this PDW will gain both a better understanding of the state of scholarly progress made in the area of social repair as well as some new ideas of how work may be advanced in this area in the future.
