Description
This GiMSIG Lab aims to foster conversations asking 'What are (the) feminist answers to the grand challenges in Management and Organisation Studies?'
The GiMSIG Lab is a series of open meetings looking to foster spaces of engagement, inspiration and collaboration for scholars in the fields of gender in management, gender and organization and cognate areas. We invite GiMSIG members and friends to join us to reflect on the foundations, challenges and advances in Gender in Management scholarship, with a view to identify future research avenues.
Each discussion will be guided by a piece that colleagues are encouraged to read ahead of the session, and which serves as a starting point for the conversation and aims to encourage dialogue, foster engagement and spark collective thinking. Each GiMSIG Lab will start off with a commentary of the piece by one of our BAM Fellows.
