*Overview*
The doctoral consortium has been designed to bring together Ph.D.
candidates and experienced academics in order to facilitate focused and
in-depth discussions around research. The consortium is especially designed
for students who are engaged in developing their dissertation research.
Students who will have completed their dissertations by September 2016 or
are close to completion will not be accepted.
*Proposal *
A submission outlining the candidate’s research should be in the form of an
abbreviated dissertation proposal. The proposal should provide the research
question or topic, a justification for the importance of the research, a
presentation of the theoretical basis and context for the research, a
description of research approach and method, preliminary findings and
expected contributions to knowledge. The proposal should also include a
progress report as an appendix, indicating the estimated completion date
and the work that remains to be done as of the date of submission. The
proposal may not exceed *3,000 words* and while preparing, we recommend PhD
students to reflect upon the following questions:
- What makes the research I do especially appealing for me?
    - For the discipline?
    - For practice?
    - How can I justify that my research results will match the goals of the
    dissertation?
    - How can I show that the results of my work will contribute to
    advancing the field?
*Programme *
The consortium programme will include:
- Talks by invited speakers about on-going research and/ or
    methodological issues;
    - Round table discussions about practical considerations (publishing,
    job market, etc.);
