Business School faculty are increasingly encouraged to publish in high quality peer reviewed journals. With the rise in journals to consider, it can be challenging to select the correct outlet and navigate the peer review submission process. In this professional development workshop, Editors in Chief and Associate Editors from a broad range of journals will answer pre-developed questions and those from the audience to de-mystify the publication process.

*This is a conference-wide session that Doctoral Consortium attendees are encouraged to attend.

The three prior iterations of this ASAC workshop discussed ways to indigenize and decolonize curriculum, research, and faculty; the first workshop included the role of decanal leadership in doing so. Past presenters came from a variety of schools and provided a large number of ideas, challenges, and solutions that participants could benefit from. However, we know that universities are large, complex entities. Therefore, we need to gain a better understanding of holistic and integrated wayfinding that creates pathways to changing policies, processes, practices, and cultures – in other words, how people work together. This year’s workshop focuses on how people at multiple levels of responsibility within three universities are finding ways to indigenize and decolonize business schools. The three universities are Athabasca, Thompson Rivers, and our hosts, Toronto Metropolitan. A representative from central administration at TMU will join deans, department chairs, program heads, and faculty members to describe how they work interdependently to find ways to change embedded culture and practice. Workshop participants will gain insights into how they can make change at their schools.
