    Call for Applications to PDW #12658: Expanding Stigma Research: Exploring Stigmatized Actors and Their Stigmatizing Audiences


    We are excited to announce the continuation of the Professional Development Workshop focused on stigma research at the Academy of Management Meeting sponsored by the Organization and Management Theory division. This year's PDW consists of three parts:

    1. An introduction that defines the topic and provides an overview of recent work.
    2. 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.
    3. A panel of experts, David Deephouse, Michael Jensen, and Kisha Lashley, who will present their reflections on how they conceptualize audiences in organizational contexts and its implications for the emergence, management, and outcomes of stigma, and for organizational and collective targets. The organizers will facilitate a discussion on how audiences, those that perceive and stigmatize, might shape, or should shape, our research, before opening the discussion to the group.

    Confirmed speakers and facilitators:

    • David Deephouse, University of Alberta
    • Christian Hampel, Imperial College London
    • Byrant Hudson, IESEG School of Management
    • Michael Jensen, University of Michigan
    • Kisha Lashley, University of Virginia
