We plan to conduct an interactive workshop at the meeting of the Academy of Management. The workshop will involve participants in table discussion on various international gender and diversity issues.

Table Discussion Topics and Discussion Leaders

There will be a total of eight table discussions in the proposed workshops. We have listed the table discussion topics, and the names of discussion leaders below. It merits noting that some tables discussions will focus on gender and diversity issues in Africa, Latin America, the Caribbean, and Muslim countries. However, other table discussions will consider broad-based issues associated with international gender and diversity research (e.g, definitions or approaches to diversity in world contexts). In all cases, individuals will be offered an opportunity to participate in their choice of discussion tables.
