We are delighted to invite all SIG OP members to attend an interactive online session exploring identity for organisational psychologists working in business and management.
Based on some reflections during our SIG AGM and during our networking at the conference over the past couple of years, there was an appetite expressed to explore the challenges and opportunities for work and organisational psychologists working within business and management schools.
This workshop will provide a critically reflective space to introduce some of the identity threats and opportunities across education, scholarly practice and research that may be driven by working in a psychology discipline outside of a psychology department.
The session will include some speakers who will share their experiences and we will present models and frameworks to help make sense of identity regulation and identity work as they apply to our own experience. We envisage the event will help to support our own reflective practice and provide us with an opportunity to build peer to peer learning, networks and a community of practice.
If you have any questions or would like to share any of your own experiences during this session, please do contact Sarah Crozier
