We are thrilled to put on an AOM professional development workshop (sponsored by the DEI, CMS, SIM, and ODC divisions) entitled "Addressing Impact: A Practical Path Forward for DEI Scholarship Amid Volatility". This exploratory PDW challenges faculty, students, and practitioners to consider and address the meaning of impact in the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) space. Amid perpetually volatile environments, such as the dismantling of DEI offices and the targeting of scholars by political actors, we offer an arena to discuss how to confront these issues. By engaging faculty, students, and practitioner-scholars in interactive and collaborative discussions, the workshop will explore the impact of DEI on three levels: (1) department, (2) college, and (3) government and corporate. This PDW will include an interactive panel, followed by roundtable discussions with critical reflection on these issues and their role in scholarship and practice.
To enrich these discussions and enhance the depth and breadth of "impact" amidst volatility, PDW participants will be encouraged to discuss and integrate diverse research methods – qualitative, quantitative, and mixed – to align with emerging scholarly and managerial needs, such as cultural attunement, informed decision-making, and inclusive workplace strategies.
Finally, participants will be given the opportunity to continue the discussion and strategize around DEI in a series of post-PDW workshops.
No need to register, but let us know if you plan/hope to attend here.
