Overview
Societies are dependent on the formation and utilization of groups and teams, making them relevant to countless aspects of life. Accordingly, scholars who study groups can be found across a wide array of disciplines (e.g., anthropology, communication, education, engineering, history, information systems, medicine, nursing, organizational behavior, philosophy, psychology, political science, public health, sociology, economics). The Interdisciplinary Network for Group Research (INGRoup) was created to provide a context for scholars to
Promote communication about groups and teams research across fields and nations
Advance understanding about group dynamics through research
Advance theory and methods for understanding groups and teams
Promote interdisciplinary research
The 12th Annual INGRoup Conference will be held so scholars across disciplines can come together, share information, and learn from one another. The conference program will include paper, poster, symposia, and panel sessions; a keynote address; and a business meeting open to all members so the future of INGRoup can be collectively planned and shaped. The conference will be held July 20 to 22, 2017, at the Chase Park Plaza hotel in Saint Louis, Missouri: http://www.chaseparkplaza.com/
Submissions
An online system (accessible via www.ingroup.net) will be made available from November 15, 2016, to February 1, 2017 (23:59:59, EST). All submissions must be accompanied by a 50-word abstract for inclusion in the conference program. Submitters will be required to provide full name, position, institution, discipline, and contact information for all authors. Submissions that include participants from a variety of disciplinary traditions are highly encouraged. Excluding poster submissions, scholars can be the presenting author on no more than two submissions. Submissions that involve research that has been previously presented at other professional conferences should be modified so that they are not identical to past presentations and, most importantly, should be tailored to suit INGRoup’s interdisciplinary audience. We accept papers, extended abstracts, posters, symposium, and panels for consideration. For symposia, by submitting, at least one co-author from each paper within a symposium is committed to register for, and attend, the conference upon acceptance. The full call for papers and more information about submissions and the conference can be found at www.ingroup.net.
