Please join us for the 28th annual "Cognition in the Rough" Workshop!
Are you working on cognition-related research? Would you like to discuss your work with major scholars in the field? Now is the time to prepare for the 28th annual "COGNITION IN THE ROUGH" workshop to be held at the Academy of Management conference in Copenhagen, July 2025. Please see below for more information, but if you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact our Representatives-at-Large, Julia Coff (julia.coff@stern.nyu.edu) and Angela Ianniello (ianniean@bc.edu).
The Cognition in the Rough workshop (CIR) provides an excellent opportunity to discuss your research in an informal, collegial roundtable setting. CIR is intended to help scholars develop a research paper. Each roundtable will have 2-3 facilitators to give feedback on 3-4 early-stage research papers, allowing plenty of time for discussion. Regardless of whether you are a senior or a more junior researcher, this workshop offers you an invaluable opportunity to receive detailed feedback from scholars who are often editors or on the editorial board of top journals.
In particular, many past CIR participants have emphasized how much they have benefited from their participation in the workshop in terms of developing their theoretical models and their planned methodology. This feedback has been instrumental in helping them further develop and polish their research for publication in top academic journals.
Whether this is your first major research project or your fiftieth, this is a chance you won't want to miss!
We are very pleased that the following scholars have agreed to participate: Neal Ashkanasy, Dana Bement, Andrea Casey, Kevin Corley, Andrew Dhaenens, Julia DiBenigno, Kyle Ehrardt, John-Paul Ferguson, Lyndon Garrett, Maïlys George, Jerry Guo, Michael Hadani, Brian Hilligoss, Gerard Hodgkinson, Erik Hoempler, Zoe Jonassen, Raquel Kessinger, Thorbjørn Knudsen, Virginia Leavell, Sophie Leroy, Zhenyu Liao, Jeraul Mackey, Luis Martins, Katie Meissner, Chet Miller, Frances Miliken, Krista Pettit, Kylie Rochford, Kevin Rockmann, Philip Rogiers, Gabriel Sala, Shane Schweitzer, Sim Sitkin, Jan-Willem Stoelhorst, Keimei Sugiyama, and Anand van Zelderen.
KEY DATES:
Submission due date: May 27th, 2025
Send submissions to: cirpdw@gmail.com
Acceptance notices and registration codes will be sent out after June 27th, 2025
Who?
This roundtable workshop is open to junior and senior scholars who are doing research related to managerial and organizational cognition. Pre-registration for the PDW is required and space is limited. Submissions will be evaluated to ensure fit with the session and priority will be given to early submissions and first-time attendees. Given space constraints, the expectation for this PDW is that, even for co-authored papers with multiple authors, only one author will attend the PDW to represent the paper. This PDW is intended to help authors develop work in progress and, as a result, we cannot accept papers that have already been accepted for presentation elsewhere at the AOM 2025 Annual Meeting. Please review and follow the submission guidelines carefully.
