>>> Recently, a number of organizational scholars have called for
>>> research that
>>> takes into account the materiality of organizational tools,
>>> infrastructure, and
>>> environments. While we know a good deal about the role and influence of
>>> technology in organizations, prior approaches have tended to separate
>>> the social
>>> and material. As a result, we lack a theoretical framework and
>>> conceptual
>>> vocabulary to effectively understand the constitutive entanglement of
>>> meanings,
>>> practices, and materialities. We thus propose a Professional Development
>>> Workshop that will address the opportunities and challenges
>>> associated with
>>> developing theoretical and methodological approaches that assume the
>>> entanglement of technology and organizing. Our workshop has been
>>> designed to
>>> include several group activities that allow for a sharing and
>>> discussion of
>>> various approaches, methods, and challenges. The aim is to map the
>>> territory of
>>> theoretical and methodological perspectives that are currently being
>>> used to
>>> study sociomateriality, so as to allow for generative research
>>> development going
>>> forward.
>>>
>>>
>>> In order to apply to the PDW on Materiality in Organizations,
>>> participants need
>>> to submit a short one-page description of their interests and current
>>> work in
>>> the area of materiality. This description should also include 1 to 3 key
>>> questions (e.g., about theory, data, methodology, etc.) that they see
>>> as crucial
>>> to mapping the territory of "materiality in organizations," and which
>>> will
>>> constitute part of the work of the PDW. This description will help the
>>> organizers select and organize the participants into appropriate
>>> clusters
>>> according to theoretical approach, preferred methodology, and
>>> empirical focus.
>>> The deadline for submitting descriptions to the workshop organizers
>>> is *June 15,
>>> 2010*. Please send your descriptions by email to
alfayard@poly.edu
>>> <mailto:
alfayard@poly.edu>. We will confirm your participation by
>>> mid-July, at
>>> which point we will send you an approval code to use the AoM online
>>> registration
>>> system. You will then have until *August 4, 2010* to register for the
>>> PDW with
>>> the system.
>>>
>>>
>>> The workshop will take place from 10 AM to 5 PM at Thompson House,
>>> McGill
>>> University 3650 Rue McTavish(a short walk from the conference
>>> hotels). Lunch and
>>> refreshments will be provided. The workshop is designed to include
>>> activities
>>> that build on each other, so attendance at the whole workshop is
>>> strongly
>>> preferred. Please indicate in your application if you have some
>>> conflict with
>>> other PDW sessions.
>>>
