Hi Leon and all,
I'll follow the example of Trevor. My name is Rob Mitchell. I am a professor at Colorado State University. My undergraduate degree is in history, political science and psychology. When I completed my PhD in entrepreneurship and strategy, my research primarily focused on the psychology aspects of this background. But the more I have engaged in my research, the more I have been pulled back to my interest in history. I am delighted to be a new member of the Management History Division. I have met some of you and look forward to meeting many more of you (both virtually and in person). Thank you again, Leon, for the invitation.
Best regards,
Rob

Hi Leon,
Thank you for welcoming us into the division. My name is Trevor Israelsen. I just completed my second year as a doctoral student in management at the University of Victoria. For me discovering this division was something of an accident. I got a master's degree in 19th century U.S. social history and then started doing research in entrepreneurship theory with some friends from the business school. It was only after I had attended an Academy meeting that I learned that some people do historical research in business schools! So my training has been first in social/cultural history and now in management theory. I'm very keen about this broader integrative project many of you have been writing about of historical organization studies and I think about my own research in entrepreneurship and family business as a mix of historically-grounded theory and (perhaps to a lesser extent) historiography.
In lieu of in person discussions at conferences this year I would love to meet and socialize via technology at any point over the summer. Feel free to reach out at trevorisraelsen@uvic.ca
Wishing you all the best,
Trevor Israelsen
