    Join a lively conversation with amazing panelists in this Showcase Symposium on Fatherhood and Work at the 2025 Academy of Management Annual Meeting in Copenhagen:

    📅 Monday, July 28, 2025
     🕞 15:30 – 17:00 CEST (GMT+2)
     📍 Bella Center: Hall C- C2-m2
     🔗 Session Information https://cdmcd.co/RxzaY6

    This panel will shine a spotlight on a timely but often overlooked question in management research:

    How does fatherhood shape work, organizations, and gender equality today?

    We'll explore:
     🔹 How shifting gender norms challenge traditional "ideal worker" expectations
     🔹 Why engaged fatherhood is essential for advancing gender equality
     🔹 Why fathers remain underrepresented in work-family research - and what we can do about it

    I am especially grateful to our distinguished panelists:

    Christine Bataille (Ithaca College)
    Hannah Riley Bowles (Harvard University)
    Marc Grau-Grau (Universitat Internacional de Catalunya)
    Ellen Ernst Kossek (Purdue University)
    Jamie Ladge (Boston College)
    Lizzie Baily Wolf (INSEAD)

    Join us as we discuss new frontiers for research and practice that reflects and tackles the complexities of modern fatherhood and its impact on workplaces and society.


    We encourage audience participation, so if you have any questions for our panelists based on this topic, please share them with us ahead of time using this form: https://forms.gle/pfiYbLgMDmPnaQjj8
