Pre-Colloquium Post-Doctoral & Early Career Scholars Workshop 2021: PROGRAM
Tuesday, July 6, 2021, 09:30–18:00 CEST [to be held virtually]
Please note!
ONLY (a) accepted applicants, (b) the convenors, (c) the faculty, and (d) invited guests/speakers are entitled to attend this workshop!
The progress of research in organizational studies relies upon the commitment and the creativity of advanced PhD students,
post-doctoral fellows and junior scholars who explore new questions, new methods and new phenomena. EGOS puts special emphasis
on supporting the academic development of younger scholars and their positioning and integration in the academic community/ies.
The purpose of the EGOS pre-Colloquium Post-Doctoral & Early Career Scholars Workshop is to facilitate the academic socialization
of junior scholars. We aim to provide an arena for explorations of challenges faced by early career scholars relating to the
different dimensions of academic work, including research (and funding), teaching, administrative duties and community service.
This workshop is an active exchange, based on a dialogue among junior and senior academics that seeks to strengthen junior
scholars’ involvement with the EGOS community and to help them in finding their ways in academia.

Format and Preparation
-
Session 1: No special preparation needed. After a short introduction in the plenary, we will use the break-out rooms function in zoom for one-on-one introductions. Each pair will have 5 minutes, and then we will reshuffle the pairs (for some 6–10 rounds). So, by the end of this session, we will all get to know some other people more intimately.
-
Session 2: After a short introduction and presentations by our panelists, you will select which break-out room to join and discuss the respective tension and ways of addressing it with the assigned faculty member for about 20 minutes. We will switch the rooms twice so that you get the opportunity to discuss three different tensions and get to know different groups of early-stage scholars. We will end the session with a brief round of reporting back to the plenary, for which the faculty members are responsible.
-
Session 3: We will randomly assign each of you a sparring partner whose aspirational CV we ask you to read before the workshop. For those who want to add/revise the aspirational CV they submitted, please email your revised aspirational CV to your partner by June 21, 2021. Please read it and prepare comments on what you liked, what inspired you, what you think is missing, and what will the key challenges be to make it happen. In the session, after a short intro, we will put you in break out rooms in the assigned pairs. Then, we will put you together in groups of four to further exchange among yourselves. Next, we will form three groups, each with one convenor moderating before concluding in the plenary.
