Dr. Duke organized the symposium "The Management Field in Light of the Climate and Environmental Crises: What Changes Do We Have to  Make?" in which scholars and experts at the confluence of management theory and the natural environment came together to discuss fundamental changes the field of management must undertake to respond meaningfully to the climate crisis.

The key parameters of the symposium were that the changes must match the scope and breadth of the crisis, its finality, and the ten-year time window available to address it. The ensuing discussion and Q&A session were very thoughtful and enriching, described by one audience participant as "This is one of the most engaging sessions of AOM. Great discussion". 

A summary of the symposium is available here, and Academy of Management members can watch a recording until late October here.
