Location:
RC11 Sociology of Aging (host committee)
Language: English, French and Spanish
Session Type: Oral
This workshop is geared toward doctoral students and recently graduated PhDs who are trying to figure out how to establish efficient and productive everyday routines to manage a sustainable research career. The workshop will focus on some of the basic skills necessary to do this (from goal-setting to database search strategies and efficient literature review routines, as well as a few other skills). The workshop will be offered by the President of the research committee – together with members of the executive board who are all research-focused themselves. It seems perhaps worth mentioning that over the past two decades the President of RC11 has been giving workshops such as these ones in the country where she is based (i.e. Sweden), as well as in Norway, Slovenia and Costa Rica to name but a few. Thus, although this workshop is not designed to offer tips that are country-specific, it is bound to give emerging scholars some necessary ‘epiphanies’, which will most definitely allow them to craft more purposeful strategies for themselves.
