Are you a doctoral candidate who is using qualitative methods in your dissertation? If so, would you like...
- To maximize the publication potential of your dissertation?
- To ensure you are properly and appropriately using qualitative methods in your research?

- Insight into approaching the job market with a qualitative or mixed-methods dissertation?
Navigating Qualitative Dissertations: Advice from the Experts is a three-hour workshop aimed at providing doctoral candidates conducting dissertations that incorporate qualitative methods (i.e., mixed-methods and purely qualitative dissertations) with focused feedback from experienced qualitative researchers. This session will include intimate roundtable discussions customized to participants' dissertations in addition to addressing topics of broader interest to doctoral candidates conducting qualitative dissertations.
This year, we have invited a diverse mix of researchers with qualitative methods experience from North American and European schools covering both micro and macro research interests (please click here to go to the AOM website to see the full list of facilitators).
This PDW is scheduled to take place on Friday, August 7, 2015 from 8:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. at the Fairmont Vancouver, Waddington Room.
