SUMMARY:Conference / Symposium:Valerie Traub Retirement Conference - Knowledge Relations: A Conference on Historical Epistemologies\, Emerging Methodologies\, Contemporary Practices
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, January 17\, 12:00pm - 6:00pm\nSaturday\, January 18\, 10:00am - 8:00pm\n\nThe last several years have seen a flourishing of work on historical epistemology\, as scholars ask how we know what we think we know about the cultural artifacts we analyze. This work has entailed rethinking foundational methodologies like genealogy\, philology\, phenomenology\, and humanism\, as well as influential critical paradigms developed in the 1980s and 90s such as feminist and queer studies. At the same time\, we have seen a flourishing of new critical methodologies\, including disability studies\, trans studies\, environmental studies\, global studies\, digital humanities\, and critical race studies. \n\nInspired by the scholarship and mentorship of Valerie Traub\, this conference brings these critical trends into conversation to think about how the questioning\, revising\, and renewing of older critical methodologies relates to the emergence of new critical methodologies and their effect on our modes of inquiry. How\, we ask\, is our knowledge of the past shaped by the methods of our inquiries and the networks in which we practice them? How do we build on earlier critical efforts even as we critique them? Who has been included and excluded in our knowledge relations with various periods\, specific topics\, disciplines and institutions? \n\nThis conference will bring together over two dozen leading scholars and teachers alongside professionals in related fields to reflect on the past and future of our intellectual practices\, including how we can and do impact contemporary culture outside of academia. The conference will feature new work from scholars in performance studies\, critical race studies\, empire studies\, new philology\, trans studies\, and disability studies\, among others. It will explore the opportunities for synergies both topical and professional. By bringing a diverse range of practitioners together\, Knowledge Relations explores how we might make the past and the future\, together. \n\nSPEAKERS:\nMisty Anderson\, Abdulhamit Arvas\, Amanda Bailey\, Tiffany Ball\, Gina Bloom\, Andrew Bozio\, Theresa Braunschneider\, Hannah Bredar\, Katherine Steele Brokaw\, Lauren Eriks Cline\, Amrita Dhar\, Holly Dugan\, Will Fisher\, Ari Friedlander\, Joey Gamble\, Rebecca Hixon\, Gavin Hollis\, Sarah Linwick\, Maureen McDonnell\, Cecilia Morales\, Amy Rodgers\, Marjorie Rubright\, Stephen Spiess\, Aaron Stone\, Chad Thomas\, Kathryn Will\, and Laura Williamson.\n\nhttps://sites.google.com/umass.edu/knowledge-relations/home

SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Attentional Control in Organizations: A Theory and Two Case Studies
DESCRIPTION:This talk presents an integrated theory of attentional control in organizations\, building on the attention-based view (ABV) and drawing upon the neuroscience of attentional control. I propose that intentional organizational behavior is shaped by top-down mechanisms of attentional control—organizational goals and logics of action and how these are enacted within internal and external communication channels. These structures and processes moderate the focus of attention within and by organizations\, prioritizing which opportunities and threats are attended to and which action alternatives are selected.\n\nThe theory is supported and further developed by two empirical studies\, one published and one in progress. First\, a comparative analysis of Apple and Motorola's mobile computing strategies reveals how differences in attentional control led to divergent outcomes. Apple\, guided by its identity as a product leader\, sustained focus on combining existing capabilities in computing with newly acquired ones in smartphones\, which enabled successful innovation. Motorola's fragmented attention across divisions\, driven by conflicting goals and unclear direction\, failed to develop a competitive product.\n\nSecond\, the analysis of GAMMA\, a university COVID-19 testing initiative\, demonstrates how attentional control shapes business model adaptation. Drawing on comprehensive archival\, email\, and interview data\, we identify three interacting mechanisms: controlled attentional engagement directing focus toward strategic priorities\, trial-and-error learning through operational experience and stakeholder feedback\, and environmental selection pressures. GAMMA's evolution from technology transfer to integrated testing system illustrates how organizations exercise attentional control while adapting to emerging challenges. More specifically\, we identify a process of cascading attentional control\, where the mission serves as a superordinate goal\, establishing strategic and operational priorities over time and across the organizational hierarchy.
