The programming committee for the 79th Annual SAM International Business Conference is pleased to announce the acceptance of the presentation, Framing, Teaching, and Publishing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion case dilemmas to advance management students by Erica Berte.
In the dynamic world of academia, where diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are increasingly recognized as pillars of educational excellence, a groundbreaking workshop stands out, offering a unique blend of scholarly rigor and practical application. This innovative session, soon to be presented at the prestigious SAM International Business Conference, promises to be a transformative experience for scholar-teachers passionate about making a lasting impact on the future of business leadership through the power of education.
The workshop is meticulously designed to equip academics with the tools and insights necessary to author and disseminate their own DEI case studies, thereby advancing the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL). It addresses a critical need in higher education: the development of teaching strategies that not only meet course learning outcomes but also engage students in meaningful discussions, promote critical thinking, and prepare them to be the inclusive leaders of tomorrow. By focusing on the creation of DEI case studies, the workshop offers a practical pathway for educators to enrich their classroom experiences and, importantly, to contribute to the broader academic discourse through publication in reputable peer-reviewed journals.
At the heart of the session is a commitment to hands-on learning. Participants will be introduced to the foundational aspects of case study pedagogy, including how these can be effectively published and leveraged to foster an inclusive classroom environment. The workshop will delve into pressing issues within the DEI landscape, guiding attendees as they select relevant topics for their case studies. With the aid of a specially designed DEI Study Workbook, participants will embark on the journey of developing their case studies, supported every step of the way by experienced facilitators. This collaborative process is not just about creating educational materials; it’s an opportunity for academics to form partnerships, share insights, and collectively push the boundaries of traditional pedagogy.
The session is not just a workshop; it’s a forum for innovation, facilitated by an esteemed scholar in case study research. As the conference approaches, the academic community buzzes with anticipation, recognizing the potential of this workshop to reshape the way DEI topics are taught and understood in business education. This initiative is more than just a moment in the conference agenda; it’s a stepping stone towards a more inclusive and equitable academic future.
As we look forward to the SAM International Business Conference, the excitement is palpable. This workshop represents a unique confluence of scholarship, teaching, and social responsibility, offering a promising avenue for academics dedicated to making a difference. It’s an invitation to be at the forefront of educational innovation, where the challenges of today are transformed into the learning opportunities of tomorrow. Join us as we embark on this exciting journey, shaping the future of business leadership through the transformative power of DEI case studies.
