Mid Career Workshop

The Mid-Career Workshop is a new event this year. Whereas the Early-Career Workshop provides an opportunity for CSCL and learning sciences researchers early in their careers to discuss their own research, to discuss early-career challenges with peers and senior mentors and to initiate international networks related to their research topics, the Mid-Career Workshop focuses on issues that become relevant later on (e.g. approximately 10 years after the doctorate, during the tenure seeking process, or right after obtaining tenure) in academia, but also in museums, NGOs and in R&D positions in the private sector.

Overview

The workshop will run for one day during the pre-conference events on June the 7th. Activities will mainly center around issues that fellows would like to discuss, either to ask for advice or to share solutions. They may include strategies for managing a large research team, risk taking in research themes, prioritizing time for research and service (what changes after tenure?), who to ask for tenure letter-writing, how to write a tenure recommendation letter, etc.

Mentors at the mid-career workshop include: Kristine Lund, Susan Yoon, Sean Goggins, Eleni Kyza, Chee-Kit Looi, Sadhana Puntambekar and Carolyn Rosé.
