AOM Ethics Resources

The Management, Spirituality and Religion Division cordially invites you to submit a Professional Development Workshop proposal for the 85th Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management (AOM 2025) to be held in person from 24-29 July 2025 in Copenhagen, Denmark. As a global community, MSR affirms its commitment to the influence and relationship of spirituality and religion in management and organizations.

Here is a 5-step guide to an exemplary PDW:-

1: PDWs are intended to be developmental-they are investments in deepening our scholarly practices (e.g., research, writing, teaching, etc.) while remaining conscious of alternative ontologies, epistemologies, and ways of being and relating in the world.

2 & 3: PDWs offer space for creativity and for experience, including recognizing that knowing that occurs in a myriad of forms including movement, art, music, etc.,

4 & 5: PDWs are often spaces for community building and scholarly activism. Consciousness of structures of oppression and how they manifest around the world can catalyze scholarly activism, emancipatory pedagogies, and transformational research methods based on, for example, indigenous ways of knowing or non-Western logic.  

PDW proposals must include

• A case for why the PDW would be of interest to MSR and potential co-sponsors.
• A clear interactive component.

• PDWs proposals must be for a minimum of 1 hour in duration.
• Submitters do not need to be members to submit a proposal to the Annual Meeting. However, if a proposal is accepted, participants must register to attend the Annual Meeting.

For further details see the submission guidelines. We hope you submit a proposal soon.
