Joel Gehman
Ivey Business School Sustainability Conference
November 4, 2016
Q1. What do you think is the current position of
sustainability in the management research
landscape?
I played with three options here.
• One: sustainability is a peripheral member
• Two: a broker, connecting otherwise isolated
thought worlds
• Three: a source of novelty and insight
Q2. What do you believe are the current trends
in research on sustainability?
I am focused on four issues:
• Relationality
• Temporality
• Performativity
• Materiality
Q3. Which areas/methods/topics do you think
will be topical in the coming decade?
• UNSDGs
• Genetics
• Grand Challenges
• Gates Foundation, etc.
17 goals to transform the world
Q4. What would you personally like to see in 10
years?
Beam me up Scottie
Q5. Where do you see yourself as an academic
in 15 years?
