The MIT report on gender inequity in academe struck a major chord among women and faculty of color in business schools. A key finding was that discrimination emerged not among assistant professors, but among tenured associate professors. The purpose of this workshop is to provide a forum for sharing our experiences, understanding this phenomenon, and developing strategies for coping with backlash in business schools. This provocative workshop is scheduled for Sunday, August 6th, 10 am.

The theme for our GDO Doctoral Consortium session is A Time for Celebration, Contemplation and Revelations. Featured (Friday, August 4) are discussions titled "Lessons from MIT-Implications of Academic Career and Environment for Men and Women" and "Alternatives to the Traditional Tenure Track Position." Scholars will also talk about the challenges and opportunities found in publishing work on race, gender and diversity. The consortium will end with a networking lunch. Please contact Stacy Blake-Beard (stacy_blake-beard@harvard.edu) if you plan to attend.
