Join us at this year's edition of the annual PDW on Occupations and Professions Research at the Academy of Management Conference. This year we will explore the theme, 'Occupations and Professions as a Lens for Studying Emerging Technologies'. Through presentations from leading scholars, interactive panel discussions and roundtable breakouts we will seek to answer two questions: How can scholarship on occupations and professions inform and enrich our understanding of dynamics surrounding emerging technologies? And how can scholars of occupations expand their methodological toolkit to study these phenomena? As always, a further goal of this PDW will be to build community among scholars engaged in research on occupations.
