This Professional Development Workshop (PDW) is tailored to Ph.D. students and early career scholars. This workshop will focus on academic life after a dissertation is defended. We will discuss advice and insights about the next steps in an academic career globally. The PDW will be international in focus, and is therefore targeted at PhD students and early-career scholars pursuing careers worldwide. It will address a wide range of issues that PhD students face as they become early-career scholars seeking to establish their academic careers within a setting characterized by increasing and heterogeneous pressures, demands, and decisions. Part 1 of the PDW will be an opportunity to gain advice from leading academics – Professors Julia Balogun, Paula Jarzabkowski and Anne Smith -- who will engage in an interactive discussion about launching an academic career. In Part 2 of the PDW, participants will attend pre-selected roundtables; these roundtables will provide an opportunity to delve more deeply into specific questions with carefully selected round-table facilitators. Participants will have the option to choose two round-tables from the following subject areas: 1) Getting ahead through international post-docs: opportunities and dangers; 2) Meeting the demands of tenure (U.S.) and probation (Europe and beyond); 3) Navigating the uncertainty and emotional highs and lows of publishing ; 4) Managing your teaching, administration and service commitments; 5) A work-life balance in academia that works for you; and 6) Finding the space to write and maintaining focus when you’ve found it.
