Workshop Series
October 13th 2023 – Bayes Business School (formerly Cass), City University
of London
Are you looking to publish business and society research in top journals and have impact in the world? Do you have work in progress that would benefit from expert feedback from senior scholars?
PRME UK and Ireland, in conjunction with partner institutions (City University London, University of Bath, University College Dublin, University of Glasgow, and University of Nottingham) is holding a series of five paper development workshops between 2021-2025 to help early and mid-career scholars develop their business and society work for publication and impact. This third workshop will be hosted by the Centre for Responsible Enterprise (ETHOS) at Bayes Business School on October 13th, 2023.
Participants to the workshop will benefit from guidance from experienced scholars and journal editors/associate editors, and get insight on what it takes to publish papers with a business and society focus in leading peer reviewed journals. They will also receive intensive feedback on their work in progress from mentors during the workshop and will have time to meet and discuss informally with journal editors and mentors. Participants include Bobby Banerjee, Itziar Castello, Andreas Chatzidakis, Andrew Crane, Donal Crilly, Giana Eckhardt, Michael Etter, Sarah Glozer, Jean-Pascal Gond, Lauren McCarthy, Jeremy Moon, Judy Muthuri, Lucrezia Nava and Laura Spence (TBC).
The workshop will include the following:
*Editors panel discussing how to publish business and society scholarship, featuring editors and associate editors from the following journals: Business & Society, Journal of Business Ethics, Journal of Consumer Research, Marketing Theory and Strategic Management Journal.
*Paper feedback in small groups, with senior scholar mentors in each group.
To apply to the workshop, you need to submit a work in progress paper that you are targeting for journal submission. Please indicate in your submission your target journal or journals. We welcome the submission of both empirical papers (quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods) and purely theoretical work.
Accepted papers MUST be in the broad field of business and society. Priority will be given to papers that:
*are high quality works in progress;
*have potential for publication in top tier journals;
*are focused on topics related to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs);
*have at least one author from a UK or Ireland institution.
The workshop is free for all participants. Your institution does not need to be a member of PRME UK & Ireland to participate (although it would be appreciated!).
Deadline for submission: 5pm GMT, 1st September 2023. Please submit your work in progress (4000-8000 words including references, double line-spaced) to lauren.mccarthy@city.ac.uk
Future workshops will be held in the following years:
2024 – University of Nottingham
2025 – University College Dublin

28th January 2021: Workshop on Decolonizing the Business School Curriculum
In this virtual workshop, we explored what it means to decolonize the business school curriculum. Facilitated breakout groups explored what this might look like in practice in terms of curriculum design, teaching, administration and research. Groups discussed possibilities of decolonizing specific subjects in the business school curriculum such as International Business, Strategy, Organisational Behaviour, Marketing, Entrepreneurship, Corporate Social Responsibility among others. We encourage participants to reflect on their own education practices and identify areas for change.
The workshop will be useful for people teaching and working in business schools. It will give participants an opportunity to work in small groups to identify practical steps they might take to push for a transformational change to decolonize the business school curriculum.

Decolonizing the Business School: Panel Discussion and Workshop
In July 2020, ETHOS: The Centre for Responsible Enterprise at City, University of London hosted a workshop on decolonizing the business school.
Following global protests, issues of race and the legacy of colonialism are more pressing than ever. Universities around the world have been asked how they can decolonize their curriculum. This process is more advanced in the humanities and some social sciences. Business Schools need to join the process.
In this virtual workshop, we explored what it means to decolonize the business school. We also looked at what this might look like in practice in terms of curriculum design, teaching, administration and research. During the workshop, we brought together a group of experts on the topic who work in business schools as well as other disciplines. We also encouraged people to reflect on their own education practices and identify areas for change. Finally, we strived to identify specific actions that we can take to decolonize business schools.
The workshop will be useful for people teaching and working in business schools. It provides an overview of what decolonizing means for the business school. It also gave participants an opportunity to work in small groups to identify practical steps they might take to push for a transformational change to decolonize the business school.
Panelists included Gurminder Bhambra (University of Sussex), Sadhvi Dar (Queen Mary University of London and Cofounder of Decolonizing Alliance), Stella Nkomo (University of Pretoria), Banu Ozkazanc-Pan (Brown University) and Jenny Rodriguez (University of Manchester and Cofounder of Decolonizing Alliance).
