The Gender and Diversity in Organizations Doctoral Student Consortium
at the Academy of Management meetings includes of a number of
activities for those in the pre-Ph.D. phase of their academic career.
Past participants have described the consortium as fun, relaxed, and
informative! Some of the topics we plan to cover include:
SERVICE: General service to the academy, service to the profession,
service to the division (and why you can start doing this kind of
service work now as a doctoral student).
SCHOLARSHIP: Defining diversity more broadly and also creating your
research agenda using gender and diversity lenses, framing your
research, publishing/presenting studies.
JOB SEARCH: Building a cv, finding the right position, and getting jobs
at different kinds of schools/organizations.
WORK-LIFE BALANCE: Living holistically—mechanisms and strategies for
surviving the doctoral process.
The Consortium starts in the early evening on Friday, August 8th with
a reception hosted by the GDO Division Officers and Executive
Committee and ends in the late afternoon on Saturday, August 9th. A
final schedule of events will be sent directly to registered attendees.
