  • 1.  AOM PDW: Connecting your academic work to stopping climate change

    Posted yesterday

    Dear colleagues,

    Please join us at AOM for a PDW on practical ways to integrate research, teaching, and service with climate action. We focus on collaborative brainstorming and planning feasible ways to connect our work with stopping climate change. One purpose of the PDW is to support and further the community of scholars working on climate action.
