Purpose

The "Gender and Diversity" Development Workshop is a pre-Colloquium activity that aims to help scholars develop their papers in close interaction with leading researchers in the field. In addition to the Gender and Diversity sub-theme 4, therefore, this workshop offers an arena for scholars sharing an interest in the field of gender and giversity to develop their ideas towards publishable research articles. However, more than in the regular sub-theme, the focus will be on small group interaction and pragmatic issues related to publishing.


This workshop is open to all scholars though preference will be given to PhD students and early career researchers. Accepted papers will be briefly presented and thoroughly discussed in round table sessions with leading scholars in the field.


All participants are expected to have read the papers of their fellow session presenters and be ready to contribute to their discussion.

 

The workshop will take place on Wednesday, July 3, 2013, 9:00am–15:00pm.
