This Professional Development Workshop (PDW) is tailored to scholars (including PhD students and early career scholars) pursuing careers worldwide. It focuses on a particular aspect of academic careers, that is the increasing internationalization of academia. The PDW will address a wide range of issues that early-career scholars face when seeking to establish their academic careers in an international setting, such as moving countries in different stages of a career, including moving families; teaching and research in a foreign language; organizing international collaborations and the differences between national academic settings .
The first part of the PDW will be designed as a facilitated panel discussion to provide a platform to discuss particular challenges of international careers. 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. For this part, each roundtable will be hosted by one of the panelist joined by a further scholar with particular experience in the subject topic of the roundtable. Participants will have the option to participate in two roundtables from the following subject areas:
1) Families, dual careers and global careers;
2) Geographical and institutional differences and divides in academia;
3) Organizing international collaborations;
4) Working in a second language: tips and tricks; and
5) Building an international career when you cannot or do not want to relocate.
We will end the workshop collecting and sharing key insights from participants gathered throughout the panel and roundtable discussions.
As this PDW has limited space, scholars interested in participating in the PDW are kindly requested to send an email to Rebecca Bednarek (r.bednarek@bbk.ac.uk) with the choice of their three preferred roundtables. Acceptance of attendance is first-come, first serve.Pre-registration is required for this session. Please contact the workshop organizer at r.bednarek@bbk.ac.uk to obtain the approval code.
