Despite the increasing interest in multitemporality, or how the past intersects with the present and the future to affect the way people enact social reality, the relationship between the past and (un)ethical behaviors has been typically overlooked in current debates. There is a lack of understanding of how history, memory and the past inform ethics, and a decided absence of normative direction about how managers should engage with the past. This symposium is intended to address our lack of understanding of how ethics shapes history and memory and how the past can inform our normative understanding of ethical behavior within and around organizations.
