Join us as we build a global community of early career scholars within AoIR!


What: AoIR Early Career Scholars Workshop, preconference for AoIR 2016 - Berlin


When: Oct. 5, morning session


Organizers: Andrea L. Guzman (Northern Illinois University), Jeff Hemsley (Syracuse University), Marisa Elena Duarte (Arizona State University), Kelly Boudreau (Brunel University London), Catherine Steele (University of Maryland)


Audience: This workshop is geared toward early career scholars who have their terminal degree and are working toward establishing themselves in a scholarly career. We have worked to create a workshop that is reflective of AoIR's international membership and the different types of academic and research institutions represented.


Goals: 1) Provide a space for the next generation of AoIR scholars to start building strong ties with each other, more established researchers, and the AoIR community. 2) To promote understanding of the breadth of academic work, including our shared experiences and differences. 3) Connect with established academics to learn strategies for forwarding our careers. 4) Gain insight into how to formulate similar workshops in future years that support the need for mentoring early scholars in the AoIR community.


Format: We will have a mix of interactive sessions involving early career scholars and established academics. To that end, we are asking participants to tell us what they want to talk about.


Registration: Participants must register through the official AoIR 2016 conference (cost is included with conference registration.) We also are asking participants to email 1 to 3 questions that they would like addressed by a panel of established scholars to Andrea L. Guzman (alguzman at niu.edu) AND Jeff Hemsley (jjhemsle at syr.edu).
