CIES 2008 New Scholars Workshop
Wednesday, March 19, 2008 (8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.)
Purpose of Workshop
Every year CIES holds a New Scholars Workshop at the annual CIES conference. This workshop is a unique opportunity for Ph.D. students to discuss their dissertation research with other doctoral students and experienced scholars in the field. This will improve your work and it will strengthen links between international education programs.
Time/Format of Workshop
The doctoral candidate workshop will begin at 8:30 a.m. and end at 4:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 19, 2008. The workshop will consist of formal presentation sessions, each followed by a feedback period, to allow participants adequate time for constructive discussion with students and resource faculty. A group luncheon for all workshop participants will be held between the morning and afternoon sessions. Candidates are required to participate the entire day.
Travel Grant
Twenty applicants will be selected, and will receive $200 for travel support to attend the 2008 CIES Annual Meeting in New York City, New York. If you are applying but have found other travel support, state this on your application so that we can allocate the resources to students who are not so fortunate. Upon acceptance to the workshop, participants will be given additional information about the travel grant.
