The Global Research Conference on Caste, Business and Society - University of Bath School of Management
2024-06-19 - 2024-06-21 | University of Bath, University of Bath Claverton Down Bath BA2 7AY United Kingdom, United Kingdom
Caste is a socio-cultural system that affects over two billion people in South Asia and the global South Asian diaspora by placing individuals on an arbitrarily determined social hierarchy that provides them with unequal rights and privileges. Despite its pervasive influence in all spheres of social and economic life of caste-practising individuals, caste has only recently received serious attention in scholarly work in management and organisation studies.
This conference attempts to create a platform that can bring scholars studying caste in contexts of work and business together to share latest research, help one another to develop ideas, and create new collaborations.
The conference will begin with a keynote session by a leading international scholar, followed by a series of research sessions where scholars will present their work for feedback, early-career development sessions and plenary sessions that bring together the day’s threads of conversation. There will also be many networking opportunities.
Registration will open on Friday 5 April 2024.
There will be a limited number of hybrid sessions for those who cannot travel.

The Cranfield AI Masterclass Series – Supply Chain 5.0 and AI - Cranfield School of Management
2024-06-20 15:00 - 16:30 | Online Event
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is everywhere – literally and figuratively. Not only is it the hot topic of the moment across media stories, service delivery products and the world of work, but it’s also all around us in the tools we use on a daily basis, including satnav, voice assistants (such as Siri) and email predictive responses.
AI is manifesting into our lives at an exponential rate and infiltrating every industry and sector, with some such as healthcare already successfully utilising AI technology whilst others are only just beginning to grasp what it might mean for the future.
Join us for our AI Masterclass Series as we share Cranfield expertise, harnessing the latest research and thinking on the implications of AI across key aspects of business and industry, and the risks and opportunities it presents to leaders.
