    We would like to invite you to share your knowledge and insights with other enthusiastic scholars in our symposium. If you are interested in having your work included in this symposium submission, please send a 300-500 word abstract to Xiaoxia Zhu (xxzhu@salisbury.edu) by November 29, 2024. The organizer team will contact you shortly if your abstract fits well into this symposium. The extended abstracts (about a five-page synopsis of your paper as per AOM style) will be due on December 15, 2024.   

    Symposium abstract 

    The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the workplace has been tremendous, yet the impact of AI tools remains uncertain for underrepresented groups in the workplace. For this symposium, we are seeking passionate scholars to share their expertise and insights on the positive and negative impacts of AI on underrepresented groups in the workplace, including women, migrants, refugees, older workers, employees with disabilities, LGBTQ individuals, and indigenous employees. We invite conceptual and empirical papers that explore the effects of AI adoption in the workplace on these groups. Submissions from cross-cultural contexts are particularly welcome.

    We look forward to receiving your initial short abstract by November 29, 2024. 

    Warm regards, 

    Xiaoxia Zhu, Huong Le, and Jill Bradley-Geist

    Xiaoxia Zhu, Assistant Professor of Management, Salisbury University, U.S.

    Huong Le, Associate Professor in Human Resource Management, Central Queensland University, Australia

    Jill Bradley-Geist, Associate Professor of Management, University of Colorado Colorado Springs, U.S.
