Us Too? The Role and Responsibility of Management Education in a #MeToo World

This session engages participants in (1) exploring our own experience and personal response to the #MeToo movement, (2) discussing management education’s role in perpetuating leadership models, organizational structures and practices, and definitions of power that fuel the current #MeToo world, and (2) developing strategies for how our teaching, scholarship, and service can help build a more just world. Presenters will discuss their own experience and orientation toward the issues, and share their model of forces and dynamics in the academy that promote unhealthy norms and practices and impede lasting change, as well as research on pedagogical practices that support the movement. The take-aways the session hopes to offer are optimism, hope, and workable individual and institutional action strategies.
