Dear SAP Colleagues,
We would like to kindly invite you to join us for this career development PDW at the forthcoming AOM Annual Meeting in Copenhagen. While the topics discussed in this PDW might most appeal to scholars in their mid-career stage – having established an academic career and 'survived' those ECR years - everyone interested is warmly welcome!
The PDW starts with an interactive panel, before we will split into smaller roundtables to provide space to discuss your personal questions and challenges in a more intimate and confidential setting.
We have a great set of experienced panellists that have agreed to contribute to the session, and we are looking forward to welcoming you Friday morning, 9:00 am in Copenhagen's Bella Center for a great kick-off to your annual conference!
With warm regards,
Your organizer, Carola Wolf
Full PDW description: This workshop invites participants to reflect upon common challenges experienced during mid-career stages of the academic life cycle. The mid-career stage comes with a set of challenges after having established a career in academia. In this workshop, we will particularly focus on three categories of challenges: (1) Experiencing increasing pressure to take on significant administrative and managerial roles, (2) balancing the role as academic scholar with other roles and activities that provide meaning and are a core source of personal well-being, (3) balancing family-life with academic life. The first part of the workshop is organized as a moderated panel discussion (no pre-registration required). In the second part of the workshop, pre-registered participants will have an opportunity to discuss their own challenges in small groups and guided by group coaching formats to instigate insightful discussions.
If you would like to participate in the second part of the workshop, please send an email to the PDW organizer Carola Wolf (c.wolf@liverpool.ac.uk). In order to facilitate roundtable allocations, please indicate your topic preferences by ranking the 3 outlined challenges above based on your preferences.
