1) What are they roles mining MNCs play in promoting and empowering women in rural area?
2) Are there any other health, environmental and human rights impacts on women?
3) What are the process in employing women in Thailand and Laos to work in mining MNCs? What positions? What roles?
4) What will be the future of women in mining industry?
These questions are related to what we have been doing in the last two years in Laos and Thailand. We hope that our report will also confirm some points on women engagement in mining industry.
We also met with representatives from key journals and publishing companies (such as Business & Society, Asia Pacific Journal of Management, and Greenleaf publishing) to discuss potential publications of our project in the forms of book, book chapter and journal articles with them. Issues on editorial process and the selection of publishing process were discussed and I learnt a number of new ideas on this important aspect of our project.
Working with Colleagues at the Academy of Management
I am delighted with the interactions with (and connections from) various international researchers at the academy of management. One strong message that I learnt from this conference is we (academics and practitioners) need to improve our work on management responsibility with younger generations. We can advocate our ideas through education and learning as well as various other social gatherings and arenas. Most researchers in our area believe that research and education on social responsibility must be embedded in various elements and levels of education.
