Do you know what kind of a scholar you want to be and what you want to be known for?
The Communication, Digital Technology, and Organization Division of the Academy of Management invites you to a webinar titled Boost Your Career Profile: How to Shape Your Scholarly Identity as a Communication, Digital Technology & Organization Scholar.
This webinar features a panel discussion with Christoph Mueller-Bloch (ESSEC Business School), Malmi Amadoru (University of Sydney Business School), Jingjing Li (University of Virginia), and Jeff Treem (Northwestern University), former mentees and mentors from the CTO Doctoral Consortium (DC) and Junior Faculty Consortium (JFC). Drawing on their own career journeys, both senior and junior scholars will reflect on how they have shaped their scholarly identities as digital technology and organisation scholars across disciplines, including information systems, organization and management studies, and communication.
Panelists will share insights into:
● Navigating tensions between competing career demands, academic growth, and scholarly impact
● Developing a coherent scholarly identity in the digital technology, communication, and organization space
● The role of the CTO community-and initiatives such as the DC and JFC-in supporting PhD students and junior scholars at different career stages
The session will conclude with an open Q&A with the panelists.
This event is particularly aimed at PhD students and early career researchers working on issues related to digital technologies, communication, and organization who are seeking guidance on their longer-term career trajectory. It provides an opportunity to learn how the CTO Division and its major initiatives, such as the Doctoral Consortium (DC) and Junior Faculty Consortium (JFC), support PhD students and junior scholars in achieving their career aspirations.
Date: 26 March
Time: 4:00-5:00 pm (ET)/8:00-9:00 pm (GMT)
