Careers in the Rough is a workshop that offers scholars an opportunity to receive feedback from leading careers scholars on their careers- related research proposals and near-final manuscripts. Prior to AOM, participants are asked to submit their work to one of two tracks. The first track, aimed at early Ph.D. students, allows participants to submit a well- developed research proposal in the planning stage. The second track invites participants to submit a near-final manuscript. For both tracks, participants are asked to include a maximum 250-word description of a dilemma, question, or concern they wish to address during the PDW. Based on the research topic, we will create mentoring groups, consisting of two junior and two senior scholars, who are then tasked with reviewing the junior scholars’ research proposals (Track I) and/or manuscripts (Track II) and providing constructive feedback, with the intention of facilitating junior scholars’ progress towards publishing high-quality careers scholarship. During the two-hour long PDW, mentoring groups will meet to discuss their feedback on the research proposals/manuscripts, devoting about 50 minutes to each. Accomplished careers scholars with experience publishing high-impact research will serve as mentors. This session offers junior careers scholars both opportunities to receive constructive feedback on their research and to discuss the publication process and network with prominent careers scholars, who serve as editorial board members and associate editors of leading careers journals. As such, this session facilitates the publication of impactful careers scholarship and fosters the development of the next generation of careers scholars.

Pre-registration is required for this workshop. The registration deadline is June 15, 2025, but we invite applications with near-final manuscripts and/or well-developed research proposals on a rolling basis.
