On October 25-30, Ivey will host the 5th PhD Sustainability Academy. This year’s theme is Theories and Paradigms for Sustainability.
We will explore, engage and encourage: the emergence, growth and diffusion of theories for researching and teaching sustainability; past, present and future paradigms for sustainability work in academe and practice; and ways to multi-dimensionalize our thinking and action for a more sustainable world. We will rethink sustainability using multiple lenses, push our understanding on systemic/intractable problems we collectively face, and enrich our theoretical and empirical analyses of individual, organizational, societal and eco-system life.
If you are doing your doctorate on sustainability related themes, we’d love to see an application from you by August 30, 2012.
All the local expenses are covered, but invited participants are responsible for their own travel.
The Network for Business Sustainability sponsors a Best Paper Award and a $500 cash prize.
This is the annual doctoral event for the Alliance of Research on Corporate Sustainability (ARCS), and a great opportunity to join a network of established and emerging sustainability scholars at highly prestigious institutions.
