Where are the women in teaching cases? Does the current cannon of business teaching cases look like researchers, students, and practitioners? Only 11% of top-used teaching cases have a female protagonist, and the percentage for women of color is even lower. Business Schools across the globe are working to achieve enrollment gender parity – what does it mean when women don’t see themselves in cases literature?

Please join us for a provocative session on the underrepresentation of women in global teaching cases. Hear from a researcher who uncovered the teaching cases underrepresentation of minorities, a female CEO who is actioning these findings to support more women in MBA programs, and a leading cases publisher committed to publishing case research that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive. It’s time to positively represent real women in leadership positions in the workplace and impact the status quo!

Key takeaways:
• Learn how female-centric case studies, especially for early-career scholars, can be a force in changing the paradigm of teaching resources.
• Gain practical and actionable knowledge on how to drive change on the balance of power in the workforce, and how to forge partnerships with organizations who are working to expand the leadership pipeline for women.
• How to submit your case research to a competition that features female protagonists. Monetary prizes will be awarded to the winner and three runner-up cases.
