Human Rights, Multinational Enterprises, & Legitimacy
Wednesday, March 1st, 202312:00 PM - 01:15 PMOtherOnline - Zoom
The Business and Human Rights Workshop is dedicated to the development and discussion of works-in-progress and other non-published academic research. Below find the abstract for a preview of the paper.
This paper attempts to explain why, in similar contexts, multinational enterprises (MNEs) respond differently to human rights questions, and why external audiences appear to tolerate these differences. Our explanation focuses on the perceived legitimacy of MNE human rights actions. This approach recognizes that organizations are actors that make legitimacy assessments, rather than mere legitimacy objects. We conceptualize organizational human rights attitudes and reasons for action, and we show how the two interact. We relate the norms that are used in legitimacy judgments, and the way that they are interpreted in different contexts, to different MNE human rights attitudes. Our analysis yields new predictions of the factors that might lead MNEs to adopt active, passive, or non-engagement human rights attitudes.
Presenter:
Prof. Rita Mota, ESADE Business School
Discussant:
Prof. Harry Van Buren, University of Tennessee at Chattanooga
This workshop will be hosted on Zoom. Please register to receive the Zoom information and paper. The workshop will not be recorded.

Life Design: Wherever You Are Is A Great Place To Begin
Monday, March 27th @ 12:00PM
with Brooke Gemmell Design Technologist, Greenhouse Studios, UConn
Do you know exactly what you want to be when you grow up? Have you mapped out the right path to get there? Did you pick the perfect career for your dream life? Fret not, because for most people, those three "exactly right" things don't actually exist. "Life Design," popularized by Stanford's Bill Burnett & Dave Evans, helps you break through dysfunctional beliefs while teaching you the tools to build a life that you love. Employing principles of design thinking, life designers facilitate holistic development through a lens of self-efficacy and agency to support authentic personal growth.
Brooke Gemmell is a Design Technologist at UConn’s Greenhouse Studios, an interdisciplinary research unit which aims to reframe the workflows of collaborative scholarly production. Though she is trained as a designer & creative generalist, Brooke believes that her greater calling is in the development of the people around her and is wholly energized by the successes of her mentees and peers alike. She holds an M.A. in Digital Media & Design and a B.F.A. in Studio Arts.
Timely Topics events are free and open to the general public. We ask that you please register ahead of the event at https://ccei.uconn.edu/timely-topics/.

Get Seeded was developed to give students the opportunity to help move their business ideas forward by providing them with seed funding, mentorship, and next step resources.
Here’s how it works:
1. Interested students can apply to pitch an idea at one of our “Shark Tank style” pitch nights
2. Selected participants will then pitch their idea for 5 minutes at one of our virtual pitch nights to members of the audience
3. At the end of the night, the audience votes for their favorite ideas
4. The top 3 teams of the night will win $1,000, $750 and $500 respectively, in non-dilutive seed funding towards their new business venture or idea!
5. In April, the top five teams from our pitch nights are invited to pitch at Demo Day, where teams can win up to $5,000 in seed funding!

Life Design: Wherever You Are Is A Great Place To Begin
Monday, March 27th @ 12:00PM
with Brooke Gemmell Design Technologist, Greenhouse Studios, UConn
Do you know exactly what you want to be when you grow up? Have you mapped out the right path to get there? Did you pick the perfect career for your dream life? Fret not, because for most people, those three "exactly right" things don't actually exist. "Life Design," popularized by Stanford's Bill Burnett & Dave Evans, helps you break through dysfunctional beliefs while teaching you the tools to build a life that you love. Employing principles of design thinking, life designers facilitate holistic development through a lens of self-efficacy and agency to support authentic personal growth.
Brooke Gemmell is a Design Technologist at UConn’s Greenhouse Studios, an interdisciplinary research unit which aims to reframe the workflows of collaborative scholarly production. Though she is trained as a designer & creative generalist, Brooke believes that her greater calling is in the development of the people around her and is wholly energized by the successes of her mentees and peers alike. She holds an M.A. in Digital Media & Design and a B.F.A. in Studio Arts.
Timely Topics events are free and open to the general public. We ask that you please register ahead of the event at https://ccei.uconn.edu/timely-topics/.
