MESSAGE FROM THE STR ASSISTANT PROGRAM CHAIR
Brian Wu, STR Assistant Program Chair
I am excited to share the 2023 STR Division PDW program with you. The aim of this program is to provide consortia and workshops to help the STR community develop and update their theoretical, methodological, and teaching expertise.
The STR Doctoral consortium co-chairs are Claudine Gartenberg (University of Pennsylvania) and Joe Raffiee (University of Southern California). The STR Dissertation consortium co-chairs are Victor Bennett (University of Utah) and Hyunjin Kim (INSEAD). The Junior Faculty consortium co-chairs are Sergio Lazzarone (INSPER) and Anu Wadhwa (Imperial College London). The Mid-Career consortium co-chairs are Ha Hoang (ESSEC) and Heli Wang (Singapore Management University). The STR Teaching consortium co-chairs are Melissa Schilling (New York University) and Felipe Monteiro (INSEAD). These co-chairs have worked hard to put together an exciting program with the participation of faculty and doctoral students from around the globe. If you have the opportunity, please thank our co-organizers and panelists for their extraordinary service.
This year, STR will again offer several classic workshops including the Managing your Dissertation Workshop, Fostering Global Publications Workshop, Junior Faculty Paper Development Workshop, and Walk-In Strategy Teaching Clinic. We will also offer a number of other PDWs related to a variety of STR theoretical perspectives, methods, and phenomena that span the breadth of our members' research interests. More highlights from the 2023 STR PDW Program are listed below. Please be on the lookout for additional information (including information on applications) for the STR PDWs on the STR listserv.
Thank you to all the PDW and consortia organizers and committed panelists who contributed to this years' PDW program. A special thanks to STR EC member Aline Gatignon (University of Pennsylvania) and the Research Committee for invaluable support with our conference award process. Many thanks also to the other STR officers-Heather Berry, Michael Leiblein, Louise Mors, and Deepak Somaya-and the STR Secretary-David Maslach-for all their help and support.
