The learning curve is quite large when moving from the role of a graduate student to the role of a faculty member in academia. Preparation to move into full-time academia begins during one’s time in graduate school, and factors such as finding the right adviser and taking advantage of opportunities in research and teaching are imperative for success. Understanding the first steps in academia helps new PhD students not only to find the right position by creating a curriculum vitae and attending conferences, but also to the importance of surrounding oneself with a supportive network of scholars. A supportive environment embraces questions and celebrates both the successes and the learning opportunities that come from challenges that new faculty may face.

This paper investigates the influences of elitism and merit in new accounting faculty. Building on research showing that search committees value pedigree in hiring new faculty, we theorize both aristocratic (e.g., accessing or reinforcing elite networks) and meritocratic (e.g., signaling stronger future research potential) influences on the hiring of new accounting faculty. Using curriculum vitae from 381 Accounting Ph.D. Rookie Recruiting and Research Camps, we examine whether candidates graduating from elite   accounting institutions place disproportionately higher than do their non-elite peers. Results suggest that elite   pedigree predicts placement rank among candidates  without  favorable publication outcomes at top journals (e.g. acceptance or invitation to resubmit) but not among candidates  with  favorable publication outcomes. The results suggest joint and complex aristocratic (elite-based) and meritocratic (productivity-based) influences in new accounting faculty hiring.

AbstractWhitehouse adapts insights from evolutionary anthropology to interpret extreme self-sacrifice through the concept of identity fusion. The model neglects the role of normative systems in shaping behaviors, especially in relation to violent extremism. In peaceful groups, increasing fusion will actually decrease extremism. Groups collectively appraise threats and opportunities, actively debate action options, and rarely choose violence toward self or others.

AbstractIntuitions guide decision-making, and looking to the evolutionary history of humans illuminates why some behavioral responses are more intuitive than others. Yet a place remains for cognitive processes to second-guess intuitive responses – that is, to be reflective – and individual differences abound in automatic, intuitive processing as well.

Abstract Tomasello offers a compelling account of the emergence of humans’ sense of obligation. We suggest that more needs to be said about the role of affect in the creation of obligations. We also argue that positive emotions such as gratitude evolved to encourage individuals to fulfill cooperative obligations without the negative quality that Tomasello proposes is inherent in obligations.
