Call for Abstracts

The Conference Organizing Committee is* currently inviting submission of abstracts for the 8th International CSR, Equity, Sustainability and Entrepreneurship Conference 2022 to be held from the 8th to the 10th of June, 2022, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, U.S.A. To have your abstract considered for acceptance, please submit before the abstract deadline of March 24, 2022.. Abstracts may include a maximum of 300 words. To secure early acceptance, please submit your abstract before December 31, 2021.

The Conference will attract leaders in the fields of corporate governance/ social responsibility, sustainability, ethics, equity, entrepreneurship and inclusion from around the world. A special invitation goes out to Ph.D. and J.D. candidates and early career scholars and practitioners from related disciplines to take part in this conference and have the opportunity to engage with leaders and experts in both academia and industry. To further that end, the Conference hopes to be primarily in person, though provision will be made for those who can only attend and participate virtually

Connecting Theory/Research and Praxis:

The conference seeks to connect business practices and research and therefore invites abstract submissions from both theorists/researchers and practitioners (corporate/ NGO) in the areas of CSR, Equity, Sustainability and Entrepreneurship. The definition of sustainability is broad and is informed by the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Agenda for 2030, which lists 17 goals. Those goals can be seen at https://sdgs.un.org/2030agenda.

Abstract submissions are accepted in three categories. Please specify to which category you are addressing your 300-word abstract:

• Full Academic Paper (approx. 6000 words)
• Short Academic Paper / Work in Progress (approx. 2500 words)
• Practitioner Presentation (1 page abstract)

All abstracts submitted will be reviewed and considered for acceptance, and authors will be notified by e-mail of the outcome of the review process. All accepted abstracts will be included in the conference program and made available to all conference delegates.
