Management Education Scholarship
The activities of our community are evidence-based. This evidence is developed through our community’s activities, as well as through our engagement with academic theory and practice. Our education scholarship activities include:
MKE Research Grant Scheme
Our biennial grant scheme is aimed at BAM members wishing to undertake a research project that informs scholarly debate around management knowledge and education. Research projects should contribute to theoretical and philosophical understandings that inform the practice of management educators. Potential themes include: Management learning and teaching, pedagogy, andragogy, leadership development or the generation and circulation of management knowledge and knowing. Priority will be given to proposals that advance the objectives of the BAM MKE. This scheme is open to all BAM Members regardless of when they were awarded their PhD or comparable doctorate qualification. Principal and Co-Investigators do not have to be based in the UK. Maximum £4,000 per project for up to 3 projects.

Post-Experience Education
This working group is a collaborative initiative between Management Knowledge and Education with BAM’s Knowledge and Learning Special Interest Group, and the Leadership and Leadership Development Special Interest Group. The aim of the working group is to help articulate the boundaries of Post-Experience Education, where the aspirational, linguistic, familial, social, navigational, resistant capital (please see Yosso, 2005) that students and educators have built over their professional career and their life journeys become the cornerstone of the learning experience in the class. Since 2020, the PEE-WG has grown from 17 to 42 BAM members from universities and Business and Management Schools across the UK and internationally with first-hand, lifelong experience in Post-Experience Education and works on addressing openly the learning needs of students and educators involved in Post-Experience Education. Post-Experience Education includes, but is not limited to: Senior Leadership Apprenticeships, Open Programmes and Continuous Professional Development (CPD), Executive Education (credit and non-credit bearing programmes) and MBAs (Full time, Part-Time, Distance Learning)
Inclusive Education
The working group comprises circa 50 members with an interest in inclusive education. To date, the working group has arranged a series of virtual workshops designed to share and co-create best practice with respect to inclusive approaches to teaching and learning. They are now working up a co-edited Edward Elgar BAM Handbook for Inclusive Learning and Teaching in Business Schools.
