Hello GDO Listserv Members,
If you have made a mid-career change from industry to academia, you may
wish to attend the following PDW to be held at the Academy of Management
Annual Meeting. This message is posted on behalf of Kathleen Buse, Case
Western Reserve Univ., one of the session organizers.
Doctoral/Early-Career Faculty Consortium for Mid-life Career Changers from
Industry to Academia
Industry-to-Academia Careers
Program Session #: 201 | Submission: 11619 | Sponsor(s): (CAR)
Scheduled: Saturday, Aug 10 2013 8:00AM - 11:00AM at WDW Dolphin Resort in
Salon A3
Individuals who join academia in their mid- or late careers face various
institutional barriers and prejudices because they often lack traditional
academic credentials such as long publication lists or a strong track
record of scholarly presentations at national or global conferences. These
men and women have professional expertise and practical insight that, when
coupled with their research interests, can make them highly effective
academics and bring increased credibility to their academic communities.
However, their practical professional background is often undervalued
within the academic community, and they have few role models to turn to for
career guidance. Therefore, we offer this PDW as an alternative or
additional professional development opportunity for doctoral students and
early- career faculty whose profiles differ from that of the of the classic
Academy consortium participant. This PDW is for designed for people who
have significant work experience outside of academia, who made a midlife
career change to pursue a doctorate, and/or who envision a career combining
industry and academia. We also invite academic gatekeepers, such as chairs,
deans, and provosts, to join this conversation about how to make a
successful transition from practice to academia and how universities might
better capitalize on the valuable experience of such individuals.
Pre-registration is required for this workshop. To register online, please
