    Are you using qualitative methods in your dissertation? If so, would you like…

    - To ensure you are properly and appropriately using qualitative methods in your research?

    - Guidance on analyzing and/or writing up your qualitative data? 

    - To maximize the publication potential of your dissertation?  

    - Insight into approaching the job market with a qualitative or mixed-methods dissertation?  

    "Navigating Qualitative Dissertations: Advice from the Experts" is a Professional  Development Workshop aimed at providing doctoral candidates performing dissertations that  incorporate inductive methods (i.e., mixed-method or purely qualitative dissertations) with  focused and personalized feedback from experienced qualitative researchers. This PDW will be in its ninth year at AOM's annual conference and has two components: an in person session with a panel and roundtable discussions that will take place during the annual conference in Seattle and a 1-1 session with a faculty mentor to receive personalized feedback on the student's dissertation. The in person session is public and open to anyone attending the annual conference. The 1-1 feedback session requires an application from interested students.

    The in person session, which does not require an application, will consist of  a panel discussion addressing topics of interest to bourgeoning qualitative scholars such as crafting an identity as a qualitative researcher, the benefits and challenges of inductive research,  publishing qualitative work, and approaching the job market with a qualitative dissertation. Additionally, there will be roundtable discussions, giving attendees the opportunity to converse with faculty facilitators and other PhD students in a smaller setting. The in person session-panel and roundtable discussions-will take place on August 5, 2022 from 10:15AM to 12:15PM (Pacific, Seattle time, UTC-7) at the Seattle Convention Center in Ballroom 6E. Please make sure to re-confirm these details on AOM's final conference program. 


    The 1-1 feedback session with a faculty mentor requires an application and will be conducted after, during, or before the annual conference, according to the convenience of the faculty mentor and student. Every year, this PDW features a diverse mix of scholars with experience in a variety of inductive methods and expertise in an array of topics.
