The business and human rights workshop running at the Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management this year aims to explore the most pressing issues and provide guidance on emerging research agendas in BHR, with a view to how our research can generate important societal impact.
The workshop involves two elements:
- Q&A panel with BHR research experts: Leading BHR experts (including Andrew Crane, Elisa Giuliani, Jette Knudsen, Tricia Olsen, Harry Van Buren and Michelle Westermann-Behaylo) from different countries will kick-off the session, sharing their perspectives on pivotal issues shaping the boundaries of BHR research. The purpose here is to identify interdisciplinary connections and promising new pathways for BHR research. The audience will participate in a Q&A session to discuss BHR topics and identify priorities for a future BHR research agenda.
- Research feedback roundtables: Participants will be given feedback from experts on their projects. There will be interactive research development roundtables designed for all scholars, including PhD students, early and later career academics, who want expert feedback on a research idea. Participants will be asked to submit a two or three page abstract of their business/human rights research topic prior to the conference. The abstract can be related to early ideas, a work in progress or a project that is part of the Academy program. During the workshop, the pre-registered participants will be organized into small groups/tables, led by two research experts to ensure participants receive extensive feedback and a diversity of opinion.
