Careers in the Rough: Call for Manuscripts
The Careers in the Rough workshop is a great opportunity to discuss your careers-related research with leading careers scholars who will mentor you regarding your topic choice, theoretical development, methodology, data analysis, and discuss the implications of your careers research. You may also receive recommendations for possible publication outlets.
The following scholars will be serving as mentors in this workshop: Ed Schein, Denise Rousseau, Jeffrey Greenhaus, Hugh Gunz, Scott Seibert, Peter Heslin, Wolfgang Mayrhofer, Berrin Erdogan, Yehuda Baruch, Barbara Lawrence, Shoshana Dobrow, Katharina Chudzikowski, Jon Briscoe, Julia Richardson, Corinne Post, Ute-Christine Klehe, Monica Forret, Daniel Tzabbar, Gina Dokko, Daniel Turban, and Marcus Butts.
What's involved? Applicants for participation in this PDW are asked to submit:
· a near final careers manuscript and a brief description (up to 250 words) regarding a challenge related to your research that you would like help addressing
· 5-7 keywords, for use in matching you with mentors.
Participants will be placed in conversation with two scholars based largely on the match between their paper and the scholars' interests/areas of expertise. Each participant will receive feedback about the positive aspects of their work, as well as being invited into dialogue about how their manuscript might be improved, in a supportive and encouraging context.

- People's lifelong succession of work experiences
- The structure of opportunity to work
- The relationship between careers and other aspects of life
- Individual career development
