The PhD Sustainability Academy is an event hosted by the Ivey Business School at the University of Western Ontario and the Alliance for Research on Corporate Sustainability (ARCS), with support from the Network for Business Sustainability.
We rethink sustainability using multiple lenses, push our understanding of systemic problems and enrich our analyses of individual, organizational, societal and natural systems. We welcome submissions on sustainability issues in strategy, policy, economics, entrepreneurship, ethics, environmental studies, international business, organizational theory, organizational behavior and international development. A broad range of methodologies are also welcome, including quantitative and qualitative methods and experimental work. In general, it is desirable to include some empirical data.
