Dear Colleagues, please share the following call with your PhD students! Newcastle University Business School is launching the Gender Issues in Business School (GIBS) Network. The initiative responds to the pressing need for affirmative action in mainstreaming gendered perspectives across Business and Management Schools. This inaugural event, which is free to successful applicants and supported with bursaries for travel, is cosponsored by Newcastle University, the Society for the Advancement of Management Studies and the British Academy. The two-day workshop will be on 10th - 11th of September 2018. The event will focus on the broad theme of "Gender Issues in Business and Management Schools" and will offer the opportunity for doctoral and early career researchers to engage in advanced dialogue and debate on gender issues in management, broadly defined. The aim of the workshop is to assist with the professional development of ECRs and Research Students in Business and Management Schools, by enabling them to advance their academic skills and career interests. The workshop is open to all academic disciplines that can contribute to gender knowledge in the context of management, business, organisation, work and employment. During the two-day event, participants will: * Present their work in a safe and supportive environment * Engage with a unique network of scholars who are engaged with gender issues in Business and Management Schools * Receive constructive peer feedback and guidance on working in progress. Keynote Speakers include: 1. Ruth Sealy, Associate Professor of Organisation Studies, Co-Director Exeter Centre for Leadership, University of Essex, UK 2. Mustafa Ozbilgin, Professor of Organisational Behaviour, Brunel Business School, Brunel University London, UK Who should attend: * PhD students researching gendered topics, at any stage of study, in Business and Management schools, or allied social science disciplines, in the UK and overseas. * ECRs, who are within four years of the award of their PhD and who hold a full or part-time job in Higher Education, and who are also research-active.
