Foundations in Humanistic Management Reading Group
A virtual seminar series by the IHMA PhD Network
Welcome to the Foundations in Humanistic Management Reading Group. We meet monthly to discuss significant papers on incorporating humanistic ideas such as dignity and well-being into management scholarship and practice, as well as classic works which have spoken to these concerns across the ages. This series is hosted by the IHMA’s Humanistic Management PhD Network for the purpose of supporting new scholars intellectually, broadening awareness of existing theory, and framing opportunities for future research.
Each week we will consider a small number of articles and possible a selection from a classic work. The readings will be shared a week or so before the meeting and preparation is encouraged, but not required. For the benefit of all, a participant or moderator will summarize the readings at the beginning of the discussion.
Event Date/Time: June 10, 2019 12:00 p.m. – 1:00 p.m. EDT (UTC-5)

The articles for discussion this month will be posted and sent out to all participants in advance of the seminar.
To help foster engaging discussion during our live gathering on the zoom platform, we have created a discussion forum for participants to share questions and thought-starters ahead of time. Please visit https://sites.psu.edu/ihmaphdnetwork to read others’ observations and share your thoughts. The facilitators will begin the live reading group session with a brief summary of the articles, then offer initial questions for discussion by all participants. Participants are welcome to surface questions and engage to their level of comfort. Due to global differences in internet bandwidth availability, participants are welcome to join the zoom platform discussion in video mode or in audio-only mode.
