Title: Classical Sociologists Confront our Environmental Crisis
Chair: Paul Adler; U. of Southern California;
Panelists:
Richard Marens; California State U. Sacramento;

The premise of this PDW is that rereading "classics" of sociology
can help management scholars orient themselves more effectively in
addressing the mounting environmental crisis facing the planet. In
small breakout groups, panelists will engage discussion with
participants on the value of ideas in Marx, Schumpeter, Du Bois,
Elias, Michels, Parsons, and Durkheim.
