> 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.
