We are excited to be putting on a Professional Development Workshop (sponsored by the Research Methods Division) focused on supporting scholars who are relatively new to qualitative methods. This PDW aims to extend the 2023 AOM PDW, "The Alchemy of Qualitative Research: Crafts and Routines." For this year's PDW, we invited four senior scholars, all experts in qualitative research, to serve as panelists.. As the title of the proposed PDW suggests, panelists' comments will include insights from letters that each wrote ahead of the PDW about their hopes for and advice for future qualitative scholars. In addition, participants will have the opportunity to share a planned or ongoing qualitative study and to gain personalized feedback from fellow qualitative researchers. We especially aim to support and develop scholars who are just starting to dip their toes into qualitative methods. All in all, this PDW will consist three parts:
-
Introduction to the idea of "the alchemy of qualitative research"
-
Panel discussions by qualitative researchers – Kimberly Elsbach, Spencer Harrison, Elaine Hollensbe, and John Paul Stephens – on their "hopes and advice" followed by a discussion amongst all speakers/organizers and a Q&A from the audience.
-
Research development roundtables facilitated by the featured speakers, workshop organizers, and additional facilitators targeting scholars relatively new to qualitative research to support their qualitative research at their respective stages of development. Participants need to submit a 2-page document with an abstract of current or upcoming project and a statement that outlines their most pressing challenges.
Date/Time/Format
*The feature presentations/discussions are open to anyone attending AOM 2024, but the roundtables will be limited to those that have applied with submissions and been accepted.
