The 2026 Academy of Management Research Methods Division-CARMA Doctoral Student and Junior Faculty Consortium offers a virtual, real-time, and interactive opportunity engage with leading scholars and methodologists whether qualitative or quantitative, macro or micro.
The consortium features two plenary panels where accomplished scholars share advice on designing and publishing research with and about advanced methods. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to engage deeply with four chosen methods through two double interactive breakout sessions. These sessions feature first-hand experience and stimulate discussion, guided by expert methodologists who will also answer participant questions.
If you would like to participate, please register by Tuesday, May 12. If you are a graduate student, you will be asked to provide the name and email address of a faculty advisor or mentor who supports your application. Participants will be expected to join the Research Methods division if they are not already members.
If you have any questions about the consortium, email the Consortium Co-Chair.
