N2 - This article argues and advocates strategies for the development of historical consciousness to stimulateboth first- and second-order critical reflexivity in management students with the goal of creating criticalmanagement learners. The historic turn in management and organizational studies has demonstrated thathistory is not the same as the past. This understanding has had implications for many areas of investigationbut has not been felt as significantly as it might be in management learning and education. To make ourargument, we discuss how archives can be used to stimulate the process of historical consciousness inmanagement learners and we provide an illustrative example of how this can be done, together with achecklist to aid instructors in facilitating student use of archival material.
