Diamonds in the Rough Consortium
Are you a doctoral student or junior faculty member studying issues related to cognition? If so, the MOC division has just
created a brand new consortium with you in mind! The Diamonds in the Rough (DIR) consortium provides an excellent
opportunity to hear about the paths that senior faculty have taken in studying cognition, receive personalized feedback about
managing your own research stream, and build connections with other emerging as well as seasoned scholars studying
cognition in organizations.
You will be treated to stories about how leading scholars forged their own professional identities as well as perspectives on how
a variety of different methodologies can be brought to bear on the study of cognition. With these talks to stimulate discussion,
you will get plenty of personalized feedback -- from both a leading scholar and a couple of other participants -- about your
own research portfolio and the ways in which you might utilize additional methodologies to advance it. Furthermore, the
afternoon will begin and end with opportunities to meet many other cognition scholars. It will begin with a shared lunch with
our sister PDW, Cognition in the Rough, with keynote speaker Joe Porac. It will culminate with the popular MOC social event,
Think About It.
The event will run from 11:30 4:30 on Saturday.
Facilitators include:
Neal Ashkanasay (Univ. of Queensland)
Prithviraj (Raja) Chattopadhyay (Hong Kong Univ. of Science and Technology)
Theresa Cho (Seoul National Univ.)
Kevin Corley (Arizona State Univ.)
Hillary Anger-Elfenbein (Washington Univ.)
Mary Ann Glynn (Boston College)
George Huber (Univ. of Texas, Austin)
Mark Martinko (Florida State Univ.)
Mike Pfarrer (Univ. of Georgia)
Davide Ravasi (Bacconi Univ.)
Rhonda Reger (Univ. of Tennessee)
Kevin Rockman (George Mason Univ.)

Send application requests to:
ffabian@memphis.edu. You should receive an acknowledgement of your request within 48 hours.
Please include:
1. Current vita
2. An overview of your research stream or streams, outlining major topics and different methodologies that you have either
used, or plan to use. Please limit this to no more than 3 pages, double-spaced.
3. Two questions about professional development. We want this workshop to address pressing issues for its participants, and
we will look for patterns in participants concerns or needs at this point in their career. To this end, please draft two questions
