Hello MED colleagues!
I am trying to gauge interest in the creation of an HR Educators Community.
This idea emerged because:
1) When I started teaching HR and related courses, I struggled to find resources beyond textbook instructor resources.
2) I meet many HR educators without HR backgrounds. Several PhD students whose primary research is in OB or ethics, get assigned to teach an introductory HR course without prior experience.
3) Adjunct or contingent faculty are often hired last minute with minimal time to prepare.
My vision is to develop a one-stop spot for sharing resources. They may include textbook reviews (short and simple), other book reviews, scholarly articles related to teaching HR, activities for the classroom or homework, video clips, and a space for discussion.
Please let me know if you'd be interested in such a group.
