Friday, August 5, 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at the Anaheim Convention Center
Are you using qualitative methods in your dissertation? If so, would you like...
· To maximize the publication potential of your dissertation?
· To ensure you are properly and appropriately using qualitative methods in your research?
· Guidance on analyzing or writing up your qualitative data?
· Insight into approaching the job market with a qualitative or mixed- methods dissertation?
"Navigating Qualitative Dissertations: Advice from the Experts" is a three-hour workshop aimed at providing doctoral candidates performing dissertations that incorporate qualitative methods (i.e., mixed-method or purely qualitative dissertations) with focused feedback from experienced qualitative researchers. This session will include intimate roundtable discussions customized to participants' dissertations. It will also include more general roundtable discussions addressing topics of broader interest to doctoral candidates conducting qualitative dissertations.
This workshop is now in its third year at AOM's annual conference, and we have invited a diverse mix of scholars with a variety of qualitative methods experience including, in alphabetical order: Blake Ashforth, Tammy Beck, Marya Besharov, Shelley Brickson, Marlys Christianson, Kevin Corley, Aimee Hamilton, Jean Helms Mills, Beth Humberd, Shalini Khazanchi, Jaco Lok, Albert Mills, Tommaso Ramus, Kristie Rogers, Elizabeth Rouse, Scott Sonenshein, and Heather Vough.
The PDW is scheduled to take place on Friday, August 5 from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at the Anaheim Convention Center in Room 207C.
