CALL FOR WORKSHOPS
The Black Doctoral Network invites workshop proposals for our Spring 2024 Workshop Series. We welcome workshop proposals on any topic relevant to students and scholars in the pursuit of advanced degrees or professional development. We especially welcome workshops on the following topics: research training skills, community development, the power of networking, creating effective pipelines, diversifying the application pool, normalizing mental health and wellness, promotion and tenure, leadership and management training, STEAM career pathways, promoting student advocacy, transitioning career paths, and developing scholarly writing.
Workshops will be scheduled weekly on Wednesdays in March and April and will run for 6-8 weeks. Each workshop will be one hour in length and delivered via Zoom. The workshop presenters can decide on the exact format of their session, but we encourage an interactive approach that engages participants in practical ways as much as possible.
