What happens in university management classrooms beyond the formal curricula, and what impacts does it have for the relevance of management education? In this webinar, Professors Jean Bartunek and Isabelle Yi Ren open up these issues
Webinar synopsis
Many reforms of university teaching focus entirely on formal curricula, overlooking the developmental roles of university professors. In this BAM Masterclass, in contrast, Professors Jean Bartunek and Isabelle Yi Ren address the importance of what takes place in management classrooms beyond the formal curricula, including how approaches to teaching influence college students’ meaning-making and feelings about the material presented in their classes. In particular, they will address how approaches to particular curriculum topics may threaten or foster students’ academic self-concepts and senses of their own identity, leading students to respond with either self-protection or self-enhancement. To illustrate their arguments, they will discuss three vignettes. The first is individual students’ self-protective or self-enhancing responses to a set of scholarly research findings. The second is the varied emotional reactions that groups have a second set of research findings. The third is student descriptions of what is meaningful to them in class and how such meaningfulness feels. They will conclude with a set of recommendations for what professors could do to foster meaningfulness, including imagining student responses to particular curricular topics in advance, balancing perspectives, acknowledging vulnerability, and embracing student emotions.
This event is part of the annual BAM Academic Affairs of Conference and Capacity Building (AACCB) Masterclasses.
Our series of BAM Masterclasses are delivered by prominent management theorists from across the globe each year. These online webinars are an exceptional learning experience, revealing how top academics think about the world, what inspires them, and how they develop and apply their ideas. Where do influential ideas come from? What leads to them to being widely taken up?
During the Masterclasses, our highly renowned speakers explain how their academic and intellectual journeys begun, and how they developed as influential academics in management. There are also opportunities to ask questions and engage directly with the speakers.

Speakers
Professor Jean Bartunek
Dr. Jean Bartunek's primary interests center around academic-practitioner relationships and organizational change. She is interested in multiple dimensions of links between theory, research, and practice, including collaborative research, how knowledge is shared across boundaries, and relationships that transcend research. In addition, she studies multiple dimensions of the processes of organizational change, especially relationships between change agents and recipients, and interactions within and across these groups.
Dr. Isabelle Yi Ren
Dr. Isabelle Yi Ren is Assistant Professor of Management at the Feliciano School of Business, Montclair State University. Her research interests center around how actors make sense and make use of the various cultural, status, and professional boundaries in organizations and the broader society. She investigates topics such as change mobilization and category mixing in the restaurant industry, knowledge translation across professional boundaries, and (bi)cultural identities in the workplace. She teaches Organizational Behavior and Leadership.
