MESSAGE FROM THE STR ASSISTANT PROGRAM CHAIR
Isin Guler, STR Assistant Program Chair
University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (guler@unc.edu)
I am delighted to share the 2024 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.
This year, the STR Doctoral consortium co-chairs are Joe Raffiee (University of Southern California) and Jillian Chown (Northwestern University). The STR Dissertation consortium co-chairs are Hyunjin Kim (INSEAD) and Seth Carnahan (Washington University St Louis). The Junior Faculty consortium co-chairs are Anu Wadhwa (Imperial College London) and Francisco Polidoro (University of Texas at Austin). The Mid-Career consortium co-chairs are Heli Wang (Singapore Management University) and Govert Vroom (IESE). The STR Teaching consortium co-chairs are Marlo Raveendran (University of California, Riverside) and Michael Mol (Copenhagen Business School). 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.
STR will again be offering several classic workshops including the Managing your Dissertation Workshop, Fostering Publications From Around the World Workshop, Junior Faculty Paper Development Workshop, and Walk-In Strategy Teaching Clinics. 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 2024 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.
We thank all the PDW and consortia organizers and committed panelists who contributed to this years' PDW program. A special thanks to STR EC member Joanna Campbell (University of Cincinnati) and the Research Committee for their invaluable support with our conference award process. Many thanks also to the other STR officers - Michael Leiblein, Louise Mors, Deepak Somaya, and Brian Wu - and the STR Secretary -David Maslach- for all their help and support.
