The consortium is limited to those who have completed their Ph.D. and are in an academic position anywhere in the world.

Participants in this interactive workshop will learn about typical challenges of interdisciplinary research that come with the engagement of other disciplines’ theories, methods, and researchers and actively address these challenges.

Time: 7:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m. CDT

The Mid-Career Faculty Workshop seeks to provide an outlet for faculty members to gain insight and guidance on developing their next-stage careers. This workshop is appropriate for any faculty member who has navigated the first 5-7 years of their career. All faculty who reached the stage of Associate Professor, Senior Lecturer, or equivalent position are encouraged to attend, even if the faculty member has participated in prior mid-career meetup consortiums. Since the primary purpose is to create interactive, networking opportunities, we encourage you to join us in this engaging meetup. Our goal is to support the notion that scholars need to build a network of relationships and resources to support their personal agenda, whether their desired role is scholarly, pedagogical, administrative, or entrepreneurial.
