PDW: Research on Stigmatization Continued: Antecedents, Identities, Processes and Consequences.
We are excited to announce the continuation of our very successful Professional Development Workshop from last year: Research on Stigmatization: Understanding Stigma across Audiences, Categories and Levels.
As a continuation of our previous session, we would like to try and promote consistency, both theoretically and methodologically, on stigma research while further exploring the role that stigma plays in influencing and even defining identities, organizations, professions and fields. We seek to explain how the existing research has informed our current understanding of stigma within the field of management and identify opportunities for future research.
The PDW is scheduled to take place on Saturday, Aug 5 2017 from 9:45 - 11:15AM, in Marquis M202 of the Atlanta Marriott Marquis and consists of three parts:
(1) a presentation of the literature that contributes to our understanding of current trends and contributions to stigma research across levels,
(2) thematic round tables, each with at least one well-known scholar that will address broad issues presented in the abstracts submitted by pre-registered participants, where scholars will help to identify problems and potential contributions in the proposed research, and
(3) a question and answer session focusing on the most prominent areas of research, both theoretically and methodologically, that emerge during the round table discussion, including where theories diverge, contradict, or provide the most promise for collaboration and future directions.
Participants are asked to pre-register for the PDW. If you are interested, please send an email, including a short (1-2 page) abstract of the research project you would like to discuss during the session, to Tomas Leriche at tleriche@unm.edu to receive the registration code. Each round table will last 60 minutes and a maximum of 10 participants per table will be allowed. The number of participants at each table is limited, so apply early!

We look forward to seeing you in Atlanta,
