Doctoral Consortium
Call for Applications
Important Dates
Nomination deadline: June 3rd, 2022
Notification of acceptance: June 20th, 2022
Doctoral Consortium (online): August 19th, 2022
The CSWIM 2022 Doctoral Consortium offers an opportunity for Ph.D. students in the field of Information Systems (IS) to present, explore, and further develop their research in an interdisciplinary workshop, under the guidance of a panel of distinguished IS scholars. We invite students, who would appreciate feedback on their dissertation research, to apply for this unique opportunity to share and discuss their work with fellow Ph.D. students and senior researchers of the field. Ideally, candidates for the doctoral consortium should be mid-way through their program: candidates should not only have a clear topic and research approach, but they should also have already achieved substantive progress in their research while having sufficient time remaining in the program to incorporate new ideas and suggestions.
Nomination process
Universities are invited to nominate candidates for the consortium. Only one nomination is permitted from a single institution. Students must be nominated by the Chair/Head of an IS unit. The nomination should contain the following: (1) a submitted proposal outlining the research topic, research question(s), theoretical foundations, proposed research methodology, current stage of the research, and plans for completion, as well as; (2) a nomination letter from the Chair/Head of the IS unit certifying that the candidate is the sole nominee from the institution and that the candidate meets the eligibility criteria stipulated above. The submitted proposal should adhere to the guidelines for CSWIM 2022 submissions: http://2022.cswimworkshop.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/CSWIM-Sample-InitialSubmission-2022.doc.
Submit your application (short proposal and nomination letter in one PDF file) via the CSWIM 2022 submission system at https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=cswim2022 before the deadline.
Program
The consortium will be conducted fully online and comprises three segments (see detailed schedule of activities below).
[Segment #1]
The first segment will be a keynote speech by Professor Andrew Burton-Jones, Editor-in-Chief (EIC) of MIS Quarterly (MISQ), who will touch on the pressures that accompany a scholarly life as well as opportunities for developmental growth. He will also discuss steps that journals like MISQ take to proactively influence and support academic careers.
[Segment #2]
The second segment will take the form of breakout sessions whereby each participant will be given approximately 10 minutes to present his/her dissertation work to 2 faculty mentors, who would have carefully reviewed the participant’s dissertation proposal prior to the consortium and will offer constructive feedback on areas of consideration when moving forward with the research outlined in the proposal.
To prepare for the breakout session, each participant should create a slide deck that briefly covers the motivation for his/her dissertation work, the theoretical lens being applied, the methodological technique(s) being employed, the implications for theory and practice to be gleaned from the research as well as any area(s) for which feedback is desired.
[Segment #3]
The third and final segment will be a panel on preparing doctoral students for an academic career in China. Consisting of heads of departments from renowned Chinese institutions, panelists will share insights on the latest developments in their institutions and explain how one can prepare for an academic career in light of these developments.

Abstract
In this talk, I will reflect on the advice offered in two classic papers: The Academic Marathon: Managing the Academic Career, by Shelley Taylor and Joanne Martin, and The Scholar’s Quest, by March. I will discuss pressures on a scholarly life from multiple dimensions as well as opportunities for growth. I will also discuss steps that journals like MISQ take to proactively influence and support scholarly careers.
