How do organizations become places where people continually learn, lead, and thrive?
QIESR (Queen's Institute for Educational Research and Scholarship) Organizational Research & Behaviour (ORB) Nexus brings together faculty, staff, administrators, researchers, educational leaders, and community partners to explore how educational scholarship can strengthen workplace learning, leadership, and organizational development.
Extending the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning beyond traditional classrooms, the ORB Nexus examines how organizations cultivate leadership, support professional growth, and create healthy workplace cultures through collaborative inquiry, research, and knowledge sharing. Whether your interests include organizational learning, leadership development, professional education, workplace culture, or educational research, the ORB Nexus provides a welcoming interdisciplinary community committed to learning together.
Together we will:
- Explore educational scholarship related to organizational learning and behaviour
- Share innovative approaches to leadership and professional learning
- Foster collaborations among faculty, staff, and community partners
- Develop collaborative research, evaluation, and scholarly writing projects
- Identify opportunities for grants and partnerships
