Overview
Is there a connection between polarization and corporations taking public stances on current issues?
The Institute for Humane Studies, in partnership with Neil Malhotra, is convening an interdisciplinary group of scholars to examine the relationship between corporate position-taking and today’s ideological, political, and affective divisions.
Join social scientists and management scholars for sessions designed to lay the groundwork for interdisciplinary collaborations on this important topic.
The symposium opens at 4:30 PM Eastern Time on Wednesday, May 1, and concludes by 7:00 PM on Thursday, the day before the 24th annual Strategy and the Business Environment (SBE) conference in Rosslyn, Virginia.
Please come prepared to share your ideas for interdisciplinary research on corporate position-taking and partisan divisions. For your full participation, IHS will provide a $750 honorarium, a travel stipend, and accommodations at the symposium hotel, The Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City.
If you have research interests in this area, we encourage you to apply for this opportunity.
