We are excited to announce the Professional Development Workshop focused on social media research at the Academy of Management Meeting. The PDW consists of two parts:
- Input presentations by leading scholars on social media research in organization and management scholarship + Q&A (Confirmed speakers: Rhonda Reger and Emmanuelle Vaast). Open for all meeting-registered participants (50 minutes)
- Thematic roundtables, each facilitated by well-known scholars, which will also focus upon "challenges" that researchers are experiencing in methodology (quant and qual), positioning, conceptualizing, and publishing their work. Participants need to submit a 1-page document with an abstract of a project and a challenge statement that outlines which issue(s) they would like to discuss at the roundtables. Reserved for paper-applicants (60 minutes)
Confirmed speakers and facilitators:
- Rhonda Reger, University of North Texas
- Emmanuelle Vaast, McGill University
- Anastasiya Zavyalova, Rice University
- Michael Etter, King's College London
- Itziar Castello, Surrey University
- Tim Hannigan, Alberta School of Business
- Marcos Barros, Grenoble Business School
- Lin Jiang, University of South Florida
The PDW will take place virtually on Sunday, August 9, 2020 at 2:00pm-4:00pm Eastern Time (ET) via AOM's virtual meeting platform. Information on participating virtually can be found here: https://aom.org/events/annual-meeting/registering-and-attending/participating-virtually
