Junior scholars conducting research on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in management and related fields are invited to attend this two-day workshop.  As part of the workshop, you will work in small writing groups and gain feedback from journal editors and your peers to accelerate submission of your paper to a top journal. The event will be in person only and will begin in the morning on June 5th and conclude in the afternoon on June 6th. 

Individuals can receive feedback on research manuscripts at any stage of development. For this reason, we ask that participants submit their research and indicate their progress in the registration form. We also ask that you provide three key words about your research on the registration form.

Workshop participants must register by April 3rd to attend. Please email Prof. Elizabeth Umphress if you have any question. 

Learning to manage and find meaning in work and life outside of work continues to be one of the biggest struggles for academics. Couple this recurrent struggle with the COVID-19 pandemic and it is easy to understand why we are currently facing a burnout crisis and why our work and personal identities can feel incompatible with one another.

In this series, we invite you to hear from leading scholars in the field about their personal journeys in finding work-life enrichment and ways to make academic careers even more fulfilling. Join us for a conversation series where we explore meaning and work-life enrichment.

The first of the conversations will feature Dr. Lisa Schurer Lambert and Dr. Sherry Thatcher as they discuss how they have found meaning in service at the university and field levels—crafting personal missions for themselves that enrich both their personal and professional lives, while also serving the broader academic communities.
  
We invite you to invest an hour of your Friday on April 7th (10 am CST) to reflect on your own burnout and work-life enrichment and gain tools to better manage your work-life dynamic.
