| 10:00AM - 12:00PM Loews Philadelphia Hotel in Adams Room | Let's Talk About Gender and Diversity, Let's Talk About You and Me
Talking Gender and Diversity The purpose of this workshop is to explore ways in which we can have open and safe dialogue and discourse on diversity in the classroom without perpetuating stereotypes and reinforcing biases among students of management. We aim to assist participants with: (1) developing pedagogical techniques that reduce or disabuse stereotypes to change attitudes and behaviors towards students who are different; (2) developing an inclusive curriculum by ensuring that the materials, readings and activities do not perpetuate stereotypes and reinforce status hierarchies, but rather, help reduce them; 3) creating a safe and inclusive climate in the classroom to encourage participation and dialogue by everyone; and (4) developing strategies to overcome resistance to discourses on diversity. Participants will also learn to create a "safe environment" in the classroom, so that students can move beyond self-censorship and engage in authentic dialogue, by appropriately managing the potential conflict and issues that arise as a result of dialogues on diversity.

| 2:00PM – 5:00PM Loews Philadelphia Hotel in Washington Room A | The Academic Career: Words that Limit or Open Paths?
Academic Careers In the careers literature, researchers have developed career frameworks that suggest that individuals have more choices and freedom in their careers than ever before. Some of these contemporary career frameworks include (1) the boundaryless career, (2) the protean career, and (3) the kaleidoscope career. However, career PDWs at AOM tend to focus solely on the traditional academic career-obtaining a job at a very research intensive university and pursuing tenure at such an institution. Although this traditional academic career track has its rewards, it is unlikely that all PhDs in management are driven to seek prestige or the outcomes of a traditional career. In an effort to discuss diversity of career goals and inclusion of those with different career goals, this PDW will encourage discussion about other career options including faculty positions in less research intensive universities, positions in private companies, consulting firms, government or non-profit organizations, and others. Other options include holding faculty positions in very research intensive universities, in countries other than their home country. This PDW is aligned with the goals of D&ITC in that it seeks to enhance member knowledge of the diversity of career options and will "provide opportunities for positive and developmental interactions among members of diverse (career) backgrounds".

| 8:00AM – 10:30AM Loews Philadelphia Hotel in Commonwealth A2 | Fixing Leaks in the Pipeline: Increasing Retention of Minority Students and Faculty in Management
Fixing Leaks in the Pipeline African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans and Native Americans represent less than 5% of doctoral students and 6% of full-time faculty, respectively, in management (AACSB, 2013). Despite the increase in the number of universities creating a more welcoming atmosphere for underrepresented minority students and faculty, high doctoral attrition rates and challenges to the retention of faculty persist. The organizers of the proposed PDW seek to provide AOM members with a forum to fix 'leaks,' or barriers to inclusion and retention, in the academic pipeline. In addition to an overview of salient barriers, six AOM members at the doctoral, tenure-track, and tenured academic stages will offer personal accounts of barriers they have confronted. Subsequently, participants in the PDW will collectively identify action plans to overcome each barrier in the Academy. The PDW is targeted towards AOM members who (a) are from under-represented ethnic backgrounds; (b) have considered exiting academia and seek a support network; and/or (c) are generally interested in inclusion initiatives in the Academy. The organizers intend to connect PDW participants prior to, during, and after the AOM meeting to ensure continuous engagement on this topic. Ishva Minefee; U. of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

| 11:15AM – 1:45PM Loews Philadelphia Hotel in Adams Room | Researchers at the periphery: stories from the trenches on how to join the research conversation
Researchers at the periphery This workshop targets junior international faculty who are struggling to find their place in the research conversation. In line with the Academy's ongoing reach for international scholars, and its concern to be more inclusive and relevant to an increasing number of international faculty joining the academy, this workshop aims at providing a platform for peer-to peer interaction, whereby four international scholars who are building a foundation for a successful academic career share their experiences with their peers and recall various avenues, ideas, and occurrences that allowed them to overcome the various challenges faced. Each presenter, by drawing on the example of a real paper's story, will focus on one particular challenge and will highlight the critical incidents that allowed them to move along the perilous publishing process from desk reject to revisions to final publications. These junior faculty facilitators, along with a senior international scholar will offer tips from the trenches, key questions for peer reflection as well as actionable take-aways that can get help other junior international scholar navigate their way through the academy and through the publishing process more generally. The PDW will also serve a platform to forge connections between the junior international faculty themselves. Bijan Azad; American U. of Beirut

Diversity & Inclusion in AOM Please join us as we build on past years' efforts to make the AOM more welcoming and inclusive to its members. At this highly interactive session, the D&ITC leadership will share progress since last year's Town Hall. Most of the session will focus on participant sharing of inclusion experiences in the Academy, ideas about how to make AOM more inclusive, and best practices at AOM for diversity and inclusion. Your input will allow us to work toward developing guidelines and tools for diversity and inclusion practices in AOM. Eddy S. Ng; Dalhousie U. Christina L. Stamper; Western Michigan U.

Sunday, Aug 3 2014 – All Academy Theme Sessions |
| 11:15AM – 2:15PM Pennsylvania Convention Center Room 120 B | The Language of Inclusion (and Exclusion) at the AOM: An Interactive Workshop on the Power of Words This session builds on the mission of AOM's Diversity and Inclusion Theme Committee to provide learning and outreach opportunities across the Academy that foster a more diverse and inclusive Academy in which all members are involved in, and contribute to, its growth and success. In line with the conference theme, "The Power of Words," the goal of this session is to create an interactive dialogue to foster understanding of the ways in which language and its usage can create inclusion or exclusion. The structure of the session brings together members of the DITC and three additional panelists to share personal experiences and perspectives regarding the power of language to create experiences of inclusion or exclusion in the Academy of Management. The panelists bring content expertise to the session as well as their experiences in fostering inclusion or mitigating exclusion. Learning during the highly interactive workshop will be structured on three levels. At the individual level, participants will consider the connections between language and identity and how language in relation to self can support or detract from inclusion. At the interpersonal level, the focus will be on the role of words and language in processes of inclusion and exclusion premised on labeling, classifying, and co-cultural exchanges (communication between non-dominant and dominant groups). Finally, at the organizational level, the discussion will center on how words and language become normative or institutionalized as well as on the challenges of displacing these taken-for-granted practices and the possibilities for fostering inclusion.
