Webinar synopsis
The British Academy of Management and the ESRC-funded Engaged Scholarship Learning Lab at Manchester Metropolitan University is delighted to launch a free Practising Engaged Scholarship webinar series on 13th January 2022 with a session from the originator of Engaged Scholarship, Professor Andrew Van de Ven.
We know that far too little management research is actually used. Engaged Scholarship is an approach to research designed to change that. It involves working with stakeholders to identify real world problems, theorising what may be causing the problem and then subjecting that theory to research. If we involve practitioners or policy makers in the design of research problems and processes, aren’t they much more likely to see our research as relevant and valid? Professor Van de Ven will outline his method and share his experience of putting it to work. He will also talk to Professor Julia Rouse, Director of the Engaged Scholarship Learning Lab, about the programme of events coming up in 2022 to build the capacity of BAM researchers in Engaged Scholarship.
This event is part of the Engaged Scholarship Learning Lab series:
