    Posted 5 days ago

    We are delighted to invite you to the first Conversation Research AOM PDW: "Studying Conversations in Organizations: Developing Our Skills and Ideas." 

    This PDW is designed to connect conversation scholars and help develop actionable research plans for studying conversations in organizations-especially difficult or high-stakes conversations involving conflict, feedback, grievances, negotiations, HR interactions, intergroup offenses, or moral decisions. 

     

    We will meet Sunday, Aug 2, 2026 3:30-6pm, followed by a happy hour. Register and see more details in this form: https://forms.gle/Jv95pLi6dnJg7Rbz9

     

    We also invite junior scholars and early career researchers to submit proposals to present "problem pitches" for development during the PDW. Four to six pitches will be selected: Each person will each have 5 minutes to present a research problem. Then, each presenter will lead a round-table with the goal of further discussing and developing their project. We welcome projects at any stage, especially those where feedback would help with: choosing a design or analytic approach. considering various conversation data, operationalizing conversational features, linking conversational patterns to outcomes, or sharpening theoretical contribution.

    To apply, please submit a short (max.  250 words) summary including:

    1. Your research question or phenomenon

    2. Why conversations are central to the project

    3. The challenges you want feedback on

    Please apply in this link <https://forms.gle/Jv95pLi6dnJg7Rbz9> by Monday, June 15, 2026. Selected participants will be notified by Monday June 29, 2026.



    The PDW is organized in partnership with the "Conversation Research" community <https://sites.google.com/view/conversation-research/>, an interdisciplinary group network spanning organizational behavior, psychology, sociology, communication, and computational modeling.
