[LIS-Forum] Fwd: "Connections 2006 Doctoral Consortium"

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: David Pimentel Subject: Doctoral consortium: Call for Participation Please share with doctoral students at your institution. ******************** CALL FOR PARTICIPATION Doctoral Consortium in Information Studies at Connections 2006 Syracuse University School of Information Studies Syracuse, NY May 19-21 http://connections2006.syr.edu/consortium.htm PhD students in information studies (including LIS, IS, MIS and information policy programs) are invited to submit applications for the Connections 2006 Doctoral Consortium. The consortium offers an opportunity for Ph.D. students making progress on their dissertation research to share and discuss their research with peers and faculty mentors. It will include multiple concurrent small group sessions facilitated by experienced faculty members with expertise in the topic area or methodological approach. In addition, there will be opportunities to network with peers and faculty, learn about research and publishing strategies, and engage in discussions on research, teaching, jobs, and careers. As the purpose of the Doctoral Consortium is to share and get feedback on research, it is most useful for students who have defended a proposal (or are close to doing so). The consortium will be held on Friday 19 May 2006 as a pre-conference activity in conjunction with Connections 2006 (19-21 May 2006), at the Syracuse University School of Information Studies, in Syracuse, NY. Accepted participants will be expected to arrive in Syracuse by 6 pm on Thursday 18 May 2006. A get-acquainted event will take place at 7 pm. Participants are also encouraged to attend and present their research at Connections 2006. APPLICATION PROCESS To apply, send an e-mail to Kevin Crowston with Subject Line "Connections 2006 Doctoral Consortium." Attach an abstract (not to exceed 5 double spaced pages including figures and tables but not references) describing the student's proposed dissertation. The submission should also include the expected timeline for completing the dissertation, including the date of the proposal defence. The DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS is 3 March 2006 and accepted participants will be notified by 17 March 2006. Faculty participants will be identified soon. CONTACT INFORMATION Please contact Dr. Kevin Crowston < crowston@syr.edu> with any questions. Also visit http://connections2006.syr.edu/consortium.htm for more information.
