HR DIVISION MIDDLE-STAGE DOCTORAL CONSORTIUM This workshop is geared toward HR doctoral students in the middle of their program. The goal of this workshop is to help these students navigate the collection of career issues that begin to emerge when students are about halfway through a doctoral program. In many U.S. programs, the middle stage is a critical point. Students are expected to begin the transition into independent scholars, start building professional networks, move beyond the structure of courses and exams, and develop skills as an instructor. Workshop topics are designed to help these students develop the knowledge and skills required to be successful at this stage and continue their development into strong researchers and teachers. Through panel and round-table discussions led by leading HR scholars, students will reflect on the process and lessons of research, teaching, and life in academia. Sessions will focus on transitioning to teaching, developing a scholarly profile, and career development and career choices.. Academy of Management Annual Meeting. (2018)
