Who gets to decide what counts as legitimate, reputable, authentic, or stigmatized? Increasingly, the answer seems to be - it's complicated.
At AOM2026, we're bringing together an outstanding group of scholars to discuss 'The Fragmentation of Evaluative Authority and what it means for research on social evaluations'.
