"Early career" refers to a scholar who has completed a doctoral dissertation but is not yet tenured. Please join us -- we welcome both scholars new to the Industry Studies Association, and scholars who have attended ISA conferences and PDWs in the past. THE PDW The professional development workshop (PDW) will be held on May 5, 2010 from noon until 6:00pm at Chicago's Crowne Plaza Metro Hotel. The workshop will include three panel discussions 1. Performing and Publishing Industry Studies Research 2. Funding Sources and Strategies for Industry Studies Research 3. Finding Career Success & Happiness: Advice for Crafting a Fulfilling Academic Path To foster informality, collegiality, and open discussion, the workshop will be limited to 50 participants, selected based on a short application. Lunch will be provided for all participants. THE NETWORKING DINNER We will end the day with a group dinner for early career scholars. The dinner is also open to scholars who are unable to attend the PDW, but are arriving for the main conference.
