We invite you to our showcase symposium on climate justice: "Developing a Research Agenda for Climate Justice in Management and Organization Studies" (Session 1071)
Date: Monday 12:00 – 1:30 pm
Where: Statler Room in Park Plaza
Panelists: Steffen Boehm, Marta Calás, Maria Ehrnström-Fuentes, Alec Foster, David Levy, Gail Whiteman
Moderator/Panelist: Bobby Banerjee
Organizers: Nichole Wissman-Weber, Seray Ergene, Erim Ergene, Jennifer DeBoer, Oscar Jerome Stewart
This panel symposium is an opportunity to discuss the neglected area of grand challenges -- the intersection of social equity, justice, and climate change. The unprecedented disasters from climate change disproportionately affect marginalized communities, people of color, women, indigenous communities, the disabled, and those socioeconomically disadvantaged, particularly the Global South. Further, those who contributed the least to carbon emissions will be the most affected. With the critical need to address the climate crisis and intersecting inequalities, in this symposium, we ask, how can organization and management scholars engage with climate justice? The panelists and audience will explore ideas around climate justice, engage interdisciplinary perspectives and ontological and epistemological approaches, and discuss implications for stakeholders and paths for future research and engaged scholarship. The symposium aims to deepen engagement with climate (in)justice in MOS scholarship and forge new routes for equity and climate change engagement.
Best wishes,
Seray
