Fellow
AIB listers (with apologies for cross-postings),
The Management Education and Development (MED) division of the Academy of Management is delighted to invite you to our next interactive video webinar! Hosted by the Merrick School of Business at University of Baltimore, these webinars
bring together academics and practitioners from around the world to discuss the latest topics in management learning and education. All are welcome, and we are particularly keen to involve doctoral students, junior faculty and international scholars and practitioners
who may not have easy access to the Academy annual meeting. The webinar is free, and you can participate using any electronic device (computer, tablet, phone, etc.) when you install Zoom (also free).
Title: Active Diversity Learning: Redesigning Diversity Training to Enhance Skill Development
Session Description: While diversity training and education programs have proliferated in organizations, the effectiveness of such programs has been called
into question given unconvincing evidence of their actual and lasting impact on employee learning and transfer to the work environment. This talk will review existing research findings on the effects of diversity
training and highlight potential issues with current training designs. To address these issues, a new, learning-centered approach to diversity training and future directions for research and practice will be discussed.
