    Join us for an exciting conversation on the concept of time in sustainability. If you are actively researching in the area, dipping your foot in the water, or interested in knowing more, this PDW is relevant for you. We will create a visual map of the questions and methods in the field, generate audience discussion with researchers active in the area, and create the space to foster collaborations. Further details are below:

    Time is explicit in the definition of sustainable development, which includes development that "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs" (World Commission on Environment and Development, 1987). Yet, it is only recently that scholars have begun to consider the role of time in sustainability. Like all 'new' concepts, researchers have considered time from diverse ontological and epistemological positions. Some study time as subjective and perceptual, whereas others assume time is objective and measurable. Some explore time in sustainability as a single continuum, whereas others explore its dualities (e.g., short term versus long term) and dimensionalities (e.g., horizons, speed, and orientation). The primary goal of this PDW is to celebrate this diversity, by surfacing these, often implicit, assumptions. Our goal is not to achieve coherence, but to map the heterogeneity in the scholarship of studying time, which is important to achieving business sustainability. In sequence, we will: (1) invite the researchers active in the field to share their thinking on time and sustainability, and a summary of their work in progress; (2) use these summaries to draw a visual map of the ontologies, epistemologies, and methodologies adopted by this diverse set of researchers; and (3) generate a dialogue with the participants on the clusters and holes in the map. By the end of the workshop the participants will gain a better understanding of time and sustainability, construct new research agendas and, hopefully, new collaborations.
