    Because I am a member of both GDO and MSR, I thought that you (as a
    member of GDO) may find interest in the following
    information/invitation:


    Management, Spirituality and Religion (MSR)
    Junior Faculty and Doctoral Students Consortium
    Academy of Management Meeting
    Atlanta, August 11-12, 2006

    Call for Applications

    The Management, Spirituality and Religion (MSR) Interest Group of the
    Academy of Management is pleased to announce its first Junior Faculty
    and Doctoral Students Consortium that will be held at the forthcoming
    meeting in Atlanta.

    The goals of the Consortium are to:

    _ Expose students and junior faculty to faculty from many
    different universities.

    _ Provide students and junior faculty time and opportunities to
    interact and develop social networks.

    _ Expose students and junior faculty to issues/ideas they may not
    have had in seminars in their individual programs (e.g., issues of being
    a faculty member in a "new" field of study, challenges for building a
    field, infusing mainstream work with spiritual/religious threads, etc.)

    _ Review publishing challenges in MSR.

    _ Explore teaching opportunities and challenges across various
    academic contexts.

    _ Provide information and opportunity for participants to address
    career issues that often fall outside the domain of professional
    discussions (e.g., issues that are political, tactical, non-academic,
    and so forth - involving areas such as interviewing, maneuvering through
    the Academy meetings, balancing professional and non-professional lives,
    etc.)

    _ Create a means to stay in contact after the consortium in order
    to sustain connections between all interested people (i.e., participants
    as well as presenters and discussants).
