PRME UK and Ireland Business and Society Research Development Workshop Series

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 to help early and mid-career scholars develop their business and society work for publication and impact. The fourth workshop in the 2021-2025 series is hosted by the International Centre for Corporate Social Responsibility (ICCSR), Nottingham University Business School on Friday 8 November 2024.
Participants at 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. They will have time to meet and discuss informally with journal editors, mentors and experienced scholars who include the following: Amon Simba, Andrew Crane, Anne Touboulic, Ans Kolk, Baniyelme Zoogah, Bobby Banerjee, Christopher Ives, Ciara Hackett, Collins Ntim, Emmanuel Adegbite, Hendrik Vollmer, Isobel O'Neil, Johanne Ward-Grosvold, Jonatan Pinkse, Judy Muthuri, Lauren McCarthy, Louise Hassan, Mehdi Boussebaa, Mette Morsing, Mollie Painter, Musa Mangema, Patricia Lewis, Prithviraj Chattopadhyay, Sarah Glozer, Stefan Gold, Subhan Ullah, Tam Nguyen, and Vivek Soundararajan.
