    CALL FOR PDW PARTICIPANTS
    Demonstrating Stigma in Research: Practical and Theoretical Considerations
    Professional Development Workshop
    2021 Academy of Management Annual Meeting

    We are excited to announce the continuation of the Professional Development Workshop (PDW) focused on stigma research at the Academy of Management Meeting sponsored by the Organization and Management Theory division. This PDW aims to continue our successful PDWs on organizational stigma at the AOM meetings. Building on our previous PDWs, we aim to encourage theoretically and methodologically consistent research on stigma as well as identify opportunities for future research efforts.This year's PDW consists of three parts:

    1. An introduction that defines the topic and offers an overview of recent work.
    2. A panel of experts – Alessandro Piazza, Christian Hampel, Kisha Lashley, Madeline Toubiana, and Wesley Helms – who will present their reflections on demonstrating stigma in research. Yuri Mishina will then discuss how to deal with the issues of demonstrating stigma in research design, execution, publication, and review processes. The panel will conclude with an open discussion with all panelists.
    3. Thematic roundtables, each facilitated by well-known scholars, which will also focus upon "challenges" that researchers are experiencing in positioning, conceptualizing, and publishing their work. Participants need to submit a 1-2-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.

    *The panel is open to anyone attending AOM 2021, but the roundtables will be limited to only those that have applied with submissions and been accepted.
