Announcement
The Social Issues in Management (SIM) division of the Academy of Management
will host a doctoral student consortium in early August during the 2006
Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management in Atlanta, Georgia. We
encourage all doctoral students working in the general area of social issues
in management (SIM) ??? including business ethics, corporate social
responsibility, and business and government to apply to participate. The
consortium is designed to provide a brief but comprehensive introduction to
the Social Issues in Management field and to the academic profession in
general. The primary purpose of the
Consortium is to provide doctoral students opportunity to begin to converse
about scholarship and teaching with a wider community of scholars in social
issues in management. A variety of top SIM scholars from leading
international universities will participate as panelists and coaches, and
participating students are typically drawn from a range of countries and
backgrounds. While offering abundant networking opportunities, the
consortium content focuses on developing research and teaching skills and
strategies, and on achieving a balance between career and other dimensions
of life.
To apply, students need to obtain a faculty sponsor and submit a nomination
form. Interested students can find a link to the nomination forms and more
information at
http://www.simdivision.org. Applicants should also ensure
that sponsoring faculty e-mail the consortium chairs with a one paragraph
recommendation. Space is limited, so it is essential to submit an
application no later than the deadline of May 15 2006. All inquiries should
be directed to Judy Clair at
clairju@bc.edu. We hope to see you in Atlanta!
