Abstract

In this symposium, the panelists will draw from classical Pragmatism to deliver fresh insights on enlisting creative democracy for ethical action in support of sustainability. The symposium will 1) surface themes that offer promise to sustainability research, education, and practice based on the vision of creative democracy found in Pragmatist scholarship, 2) provoke participants to consider from which ideas we must separate ourselves in order to advance sustainability research and practice, 3) present promising examples of management practice and education interventions that benefit – or would benefit – from stronger roots in Pragmatist ethics, and 4) create a dialogue between audience members and panelists on what Pragmatist ideals of creative democracy and ethics imply for sustainability.
