Application Deadline: June 30, 2024
PDW time and location: Saturday, August 10 - 8:30 AM to 11:30 AM – Fairmont in State Room
AOM members interested in network analysis have benefited from various PDWs that cater to their need to keep up to date with the methods and theories in this area, but there is only one forum for learning how to bring their research interests into the classroom: the Teaching Social Networks PDW. Now in its 12th year, this ongoing forum for AOM members interested in teaching social networks to different audiences offers an opportunity to share and learn practical insights on how to prepare and deliver impactful sessions or entire courses on the topic.
In the first half of the PDW, leading scholars will give presentations describing how they have developed teaching materials to bring social network research into the classroom. In the second half of the PDW, participants will have the opportunity to interact with the presenters and the organizers in rotating roundtable discussions about how to translate social network research into effective educational experiences. The workshop will close with a plenary discussion sharing highlights from the roundtables exchanges.
The 2024 edition of the PDW emphasizes how to leverage network concepts for professional development and career advancement. We are fortunate to count on the participation of the following scholars presenting their contributions:
Anne ter Wal (Imperial College London): Teaching Networking Behavior
Kristen Cullen-Lester (University of Mississippi): Network Development & Management Education
Stefano Tasselli (University of Exeter): Social Networks for Self-Assessment and Career Advancement
Abraham Oshotse (Emory University): Adapting Teaching for Technical and Non-Technical Audiences
To ensure a high-quality experience and an atmosphere conducive to interaction and exchange of ideas, participation in the PDW will be limited to 50 individuals. Experience in teaching social networks is not required but will be considered when selecting applications.
