The Management, Spirituality and Religion (MSR) Interest Group invites Professional Development Workshop (PDW) proposals for the Academy of Management Annual Meeting PDW Program to be held Aug 5 to Aug 7, 2022.
AOM 2022 Theme: Creating a Better World Together
As a global community, MSR affirms its commitment to the continual process of becoming conscious of, and working to dismantle, structures of oppression in the spaces of our work and practice.
Below are five characteristics of an exemplary PDW submission:
- PDWs Are Developmental: They focus on personal and professional skill development. As such, PDWs should not mimic scholarly sessions.
- PDWs Are Creative: They are places for experiencing diverse modalities of learning and development beyond the typical intellectual/cognitive processes found in traditional scholarly research presentations. PDWs can take a variety of forms.
- PDWs are Experiential: They offer active engagement in discussion or experiential activities rather than passive listening.
- PDWs are Community Building: They offer an excellent opportunity to move outside the boundary of a single division to explore issues and ideas across divisions.
- PDWs are Opportunities for Enhancing Scholarly Activism: Especially for the domain of MSR, developing expertise in or consciousness of the role of activist teaching, research, and service for the betterment of humanity and the planet is highly valued.
PDW proposals must include:
- A title and AOM assigned submission number (in the proposal and in the file name),
- A primary sponsor and other potential sponsors,
- An abstract of up to 250 words,
- A 3-5 page workshop overview,
- A case for why the PDW would be of interest to MSR and potential co-sponsors,
- A description of the chosen format for delivery,
- An attendance commitment. Upon acceptance, at least one author or participant must commit to attending the conference. An explicit written statement of commitment is required (e-mail is acceptable).
- Key words capturing the most important aspects of your proposed session PDW.
- Missing any of these items means proposals will not be reviewed or evaluated for acceptance.
The "rule of three" applies: individuals may submit, appear in, or be associated with up to three PDWs.
- Submitters do not need to be members to submit a proposal to the Annual Meeting.
- If a proposal is accepted, participants must register to attend the Annual Meeting.
- All participants attending the Annual Meeting must be AOM Members and registered for the Annual Meeting.
Submission deadline: January 11, 2022
Submitters who are unclear about the submission process, please review the submission guidelines at aom.org/events/annual-meeting/submitting.
We look forward to your submission!
