  • 1.  Join the Paradox Community for an Online Brainstorm of What's Next - May 21/22

    Posted 05-12-2020 12:49

    Dear Colleagues,

    Please join us for an online dialogue on research, teaching and giving back to the community in this COVID-19 crisis. 

    We have organized a moderated dialogue to brainstorm how paradox scholars can understand the challenges that we are currently seeing in the world and rise up to effectively address those challenges.

    We are holding this dialogue twice to accommodate for different time zones.



    • First Online Dialogue: New York, May 21, 8-9:30 am, London May 21, 1-2:30 pm, Beijing May 21, 8-9:30 pm.
    • Second Online Dialogue: New York, May 21, 8-9:30 pm, London, May 22, 1-2:30 am, Beijing, May 22, 8-9:30 am.

    Many of us are facing unprecedented challenges in our teaching, research, and service to our institutions and communities. We are also witnessing others outside academia face challenges in their lives and work that are highly paradoxical. We invite you to this virtual dialogue to make sense of our new reality and brainstorm how our academic community can meet our needs as scholars and the needs of the world at large. Our hope is that at the end of this dialogue, you leave inspired with new ideas, new solutions, and possibly new opportunities for collaborations.


    We are running this online dialogue twice in the same day to accommodate for different time zones. We welcome colleagues interested in paradox scholarship broadly, whether or not you have published in this area.
