Description
Over the past few decades, research on stigma has taken on a lively life within the academy and the broader community of organizational researchers beyond the disciplines of social psychology and sociology. However, its evolution over the years has yielded a body of literature that is siloed within different levels of research, despite common groundings in the seminal work of Goffman (1963). To begin to redress this issue and build a more coherent body of literature on stigma, we have invited leading stigma scholars from across different levels of analysis to participate in this symposium as panelists and discussants. Each of the scholars has demonstrated an interest in advancing our collective knowledge of stigma through increased cross-level dialogue and research, and will be coming together to discuss three thought-provoking questions designed to stimulate new ideas and avenues for research: (1) How might stigma at the different levels of analysis be similar or related? (2) In what ways, can we benefit from obtaining a more micro understanding of macro stigma and a more macro understanding of micro stigma? (3) What stigma research questions warrant cross-level considerations? Overall, by bringing together leading stigma scholars from across levels to address and discuss these questions, our objective is to facilitate a lively and interactive symposium that will attract researchers from across divisions interested in stigma.
