Call for Applications: Virtual PDW on Data Interpretation & Paradox Theorizing

  • 1.  Call for Applications: Virtual PDW on Data Interpretation & Paradox Theorizing

    Posted yesterday

    Dear Colleagues,

    We are excited to invite applications for our upcoming virtual PDW:

    Data Interpretation & Framing in Paradox Research

    Station 1 of the Paradox PDW Series – A Shared Journey of Developing Paradox Research

    πŸ“… June 26, 2026
    ⏰ 08:00–10:00 ET | 14:00–16:00 CEST
    πŸ’» Virtual Workshop

    This PDW focuses on one of the most challenging - and often least openly discussed - aspects of paradox research:

    How do we make sense of complex empirical data and develop compelling paradox theorizing from it?

    We are very happy to welcome the following panelists:

    • Wendy K. Smith (University of Delaware)
    • Harald Tuckermann (University of St. Gallen)
    • Simone Carmine (IESEG School of Management)

    This PDW is designed as an interactive and developmental session, including:

    • A panel discussion in which the panelists will share their own approaches to working with empirical data and reflect collectively on data interpretation and theorizing processes
    • Three developmental paper discussions where selected presenters introduce their datasets or condensed extracts and receive collective feedback and reflections from panelists and participants
    • A concluding collaborative reflection on framing, theorizing, and moving projects forward

    The research process itself is deeply paradoxical. As scholars, we constantly navigate tensions between complexity and simplicity, openness and structure, induction and deduction, novelty and continuity. Rather than treating these tensions as problems to eliminate, this PDW also aims to explore how they may become productive sources of theorizing and methodological creativity.

    πŸ“£ CALL FOR ONE-PAGE APPLICATIONS

    We will select three presenters to discuss their ongoing projects and empirical material with the panelists and participants.

    Everyone interested is warmly welcome to participate in the workshop discussion.

    πŸ—“ Application & Registration Deadline: June 12, 2026

    Please find the registration link and poster with further information below.

    We would be very happy if you joined us! 😊
