The Critical Management Studies (CMS) division invites you to a thought-provoking plenary session examining the foundational roots of CMS scholarship and its enduring commitment to emancipation. This session will explore how CMS contributes to social and environmental change, emphasizing the division’s dedication to social and environmental justice. This session will reflect on CMS's rich tradition of interrogating neoliberalism, (anti)racism, and neocolonialism while spotlighting less-discussed topics that push the boundaries of critical thought. Particular attention will be given to the transformative potential of critical management education and scholarship. Join us to celebrate the diverse spectrum of CMS scholarship, reflect on its achievements, and envision its future in promoting emancipation and social transformation. This plenary aims to inspire collaborative dialogue and invigorate our shared commitment to build more equitable and environmentally just societies.
