Thriving as Educator-Track Faculty in Evolving Business Schools
As universities continue to expand the role of professors of practice and other educator-track faculty, join us for an inclusive forum to connect, share experiences, and explore the evolving expectations of these roles in business education.

Session ID: 17916 (PDW Consortium)
What to expect:
Opening remarks from Michael L. Barnett, Editor-in-Chief of Academy of Management Perspectives (AMP), on non-tenure-track and professional practice faculty, pathways to publishing in practitioner-oriented journals, and how AOM's new Practice-Oriented Scholarship (POS) community can support educator-track faculty.
Followed by roundtable discussions across three key areas:
- Adapting professional expertise to academic roles
- Navigating institutional expectations & career pathways
- Collaborating across institutions and divisions
Who should attend: Teaching, clinical, lecturer, and non-tenure-track faculty - as well as tenure-track faculty, DBA/PhD students, and practitioners exploring academia.
