JOIN TWO GRONEN EVENTS: READING GROUP ON OCT 12 & TEACHING WORKSHOP ON OCT 13
Call for Registration
The multi-faceted challenges the global community currently faces require a deep reflection on the way we teach sustainability and on our role as teachers. The climate crisis, energy security, and food accessibility have all become intertwined and lead to competing priorities in business and society. For teachers at business schools and technical universities, this raises important questions: Do the management models and decision-making heuristics we teach still fit this reality? How can we design new sustainability-related syllabi and refresh our teaching approaches? The aim of this workshop is to bring together experienced teachers as well as those starting to teach to generate a debate on revitalizing sustainability teaching.
The format of the workshop is interactive. Invited keynotes discuss in panel debates how to Roundtable sessions then provide a platform to discuss current topics and reflect on their own teaching approach.
About GRONEN workshops
GRONEN workshops aim to foster the exchange among members between the biennial GRONEN conferences. GRONEN workshops aim to advance relevant and strong research and to encourage innovative thinking on organizations and the natural environment.
GRONEN Reading Group Oct 12
One day prior to the workshop, the GRONEN Reading Group takes place. If you have an R&R in a sustainability-related topic, we invite you to participate in the next GRONEN Reading Group (GROReG). GROReG is the platform of the GRONEN network to discuss sustainability-related papers at the ‘revise & resubmit’ stage (preferably with a journal that is at least ranked 3 in the ABS list). If you are interested, please contact the reading group coordinator Elisa Alt (elisa.alt@kcl.ac.uk) by Sep 25.
