Professional Development Workshop

Click here to apply for the PDW

Deadline for application is Friday, May 1, 2012.

The Early Career Development Committee of the Industry Studies Association is pleased to announce the 2012 Professional Development Workshop (PDW) for early career industry studies scholars on Tuesday, May 29, 2012. The PDW is held in conjunction with the 2012 Industry Studies Association Conference.

The Professional Development Workshop is intended to support early-career scholars engaged in industry studies research by providing career-related advice and the opportunity to form a network of junior and senior colleagues. Faculty development is a core component of the mission of the Industry Studies Association. In addition, the PDW brings together scholars across the wide range of disciplines and industries represented by the ISA, enabling greater interdisciplinary collaboration. "Early career" refers to a scholar who has completed a doctoral dissertation but is not yet tenured. Advanced level PhD students are also encouraged to attend.

Please join us -- we welcome both scholars new to the Industry Studies Association, and scholars who have attended ISA conferences and PDWs in the past.

The PDW

The Professional Development Workshop will be held on May 29, 2012 from noon until 6:00 pm at the University of Pittsburgh.   

The workshop will include three panel discussions
1. Funding Sources and Strategies for Industry Studies Research
2. Performing and Publishing Industry Studies Research
3. Finding a Fulfilling Work-life Balance

To foster informality, collegiality, and open discussion, the workshop will be limited to 50 participants, selected based on a short application.  Lunch will be provided for all participants.

Interested?

The Industry Studies Association sponsors this event, enabling the workshop and dinner to be offered without a registration fee. This event is, however, limited to early career scholars who have registered to attend the 2012 Industry Studies Conference.

The short application provided in the link above is required for attending the PDW. Apply on or before Friday, May 1, 2012. Accepted participants will be notified on May 11, 2012.  Limited travel support is available (please see the application for details).
