The Friction of Sociopolitical Change: Organizational Responsiveness with Inclusive Practices (PDW)
Scheduled: Saturday, Aug 5 2017 from 9:00AM – 11:00AM
Location: Atlanta Marriott Marquis (Marquis M108)
Sponsors: ODC, GDO, D&ITC
PDW Overview: Recent shifts in our social and political environment have created frictions between colleagues and friends within academic and non-academic organizations, posing a unique social challenge and uncertainty about our collective future. These shifts have led to several questions about how organizations should respond, including determining the best research, teaching, and managerial response practices regarding inclusion. This interactive PDW will engage faculty, students, and practitioner-scholars in meaningful and collaborative dialogue about organizational and individual responses to social and political concerns, and how to move forward constructively using inclusion tools and practices.
PDW Structure: This PDW will begin with an interactive discussion with our panelists, followed by roundtable discussions with critical reflection of these issues and their role in scholarship, teaching, and practice. These discussions will culminate in a toolkit that offers guidance to achieve commonality and inclusion.
Panelists: Anne Huff (National University of Ireland Maynooth), Issac Addae (Tennessee State University), and Tammy Hunter (KPMG)
Organizers: Katerina Gonzalez (Baruch College and the Graduate Center, CUNY), Ishva Minefee (Iowa State U.), Florencio F. Portocarrero (Baruch College and the Graduate Center, CUNY), Sabrina Speights (UNC Charlotte), Nicole Fuller (Texas A&M U.), Toschia Hogan (Georgia Institute of Technology), and Danielle Jones (University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign)
