“Careers in the Rough” PDW – Research Development Workshop
We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things… and
curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.”
–Walt Disney
Disney’s words are certainly true for Careers division members and our
research. The issues we investigate such as bounderyless and protean
careers, callings, job crafting and career transitions continue to lead
us down new paths. It is in this spirit of experimentation and
curiosity that we offer “Careers in the Rough.” Modeled on the Cognition
in the Rough PDW offered by the MOC division, “Careers in the Rough” is
a research development workshop featuring roundtable discussions
consisting of 2 accomplished researchers and typically three
participants presenting papers/ideas in the formative stages.
“Careers in the Rough” represents an excellent opportunity to engage in
dialogue about your research with individuals who have contributed
significantly to the field and have been successful in publishing their
work in top journals. The panel of accomplished researchers includes:
Douglas T. Hall, Sherry Sullivan, Michael Arthur, Hugh Gunz, Amy
Wrzesniewski, Yehuda Baruch, Peter Cappelli, Peter Heslin, Stacy
Blake-Beard, Jeffrey Greenhaus, Kim Eddleston, Maury Peiperl, Berrin
Erdogan, and Barbara Lawrence.
Interested? Participants are asked to provide a 1500 word overview of a
research topic, conceptual framework, research questions, or
methodology, anticipated contributions to research/practice and key
findings if the research is complete. If desired, you may also write an
additional 250 words on a challenge that you need help addressing. The
researchers at your table will read and provide helpful comments on the
each proposal with the intent of moving new and innovative ideas for
research on to good publications.
We look forward to seeing you as careers research keeps moving forward!
