Dear Colleagues:
We invite you to a showcase symposium on Bridging the Micro and Macro
Levels in the Study of Identity.
Program Session #: 1333, Sponsors: MOC, OB, OMT
Scheduled: Tuesday, Aug 10 2010 8:00AM - 9:30AM at Delta Centre-Ville in
St-Charles
This symposium attempts to build bridges between the micro- and macro-
levels of analysis in the study of identity. Identity has been
conceptualized as a property of individuals, groups, organizations, and
larger entities (e.g., industries), yet identity scholars have devoted
surprisingly little attention to multi-level research. Two fruitful
avenues for creating such linkages are: 1) developing theory that connects
identity at one level to identity at other levels; and 2) considering
cross-level antecedents and consequences of identity as it is
conceptualized at any given level. The symposium explores both approaches
to encourage more multi-level identity theory and research. After
presenting their research, the participants hope to engage audience
members in an interactive and fruitful discussion about advancing a multi-
level identity research agenda.
Organized by Aimee Hamilton and Denny Gioia (Penn State), the symposium
includes the following participants: Blake Ashforth, Kristie Rogers and
Kevin Corley (Arizona State), Mary Ann Glynn and Lee Watkiss (Boston
College), and Glen Kreiner (Penn State).
