Hi

I would like to convene a caucus at the Academy of Management this summer in Montreal. The topic is Mindfulness Meditation in the Workplace and Classroom. I'm including the term "meditation" in the caucus name because I want to make it clear that I'm referring to mindfulness in the way it is used in the stream of research that started with Jon Kabat-Zinn (what Weick calls Eastern Mindfulness), not in the way it is used in the stream of research started by Ellen Langer (what Weick calls Western Mindfulness). Anyway, I need to include the names of at least five other members of the Academy of Management in order to hold a caucus meeting. If you are a member and would be willing to be listed, please let me know.

- Don

Hi Don,

I would be happy to have my name included if it doesn't affect the rule of 3.  I already have two panel submissions and am working on a paper submission.

Either way, I would love to attend as a participant and talk about the issues of teaching mindfulness meditation in a bible belt university.

Ascribe not to any soul that which thou wouldst not have ascribed to thee, and say not that which thou doest not. This is my command unto thee, do thou observe it.

Sounds very interesting, but what's going to be the purpose of the caucus?

Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think.
