Doctoral Consortium
We gratefully acknowledge the support of Deloitte U.S. Firms
for the 2009 ABO Doctoral Consortium.
The Accounting, Behavior, and Organizations Section of the AAA is pleased to announce its fourth Doctoral Consortium. The Consortium will be held in conjunction with the Annual ABO Research Conference in Seattle, Washington on October 9th and 10th. The Consortium will be moderated by Jane Kennedy. The Consortium should be of interest to PhD students interested in conducting behavioral research. New faculty (i.e., first three years post PhD) also will be considered for attendance to the consortium if space is available.
The Consortium will take place the morning of Friday, October 9th immediately prior to the ABO Research Conference. We will have expert teachers and researchers present their tips on how to be successful in the classroom and in conducting and publishing high quality research. A final session will talk about managing your career, particularly with respect to the tenure process. You will have the opportunity to ask questions and interact with the presenters.
Consortium and Conference registration is free for student members of the AAA (students need not be members of the ABO section). Registration includes Friday and Saturday breakfast and lunch as well as an appetizer reception on Friday. In addition, two nights hotel, at the conference hotel, will be paid by the ABO section for up to 30 PhD student registrants. Students will share a room with another student participant, with hotel pairings made by ABO. For students receiving free rooms for two nights, the cost of the Consortium and Conference will thus be only the cost of transportation and dinner on Thursday, Friday and Saturday and possibly one night of hotel if needed. This makes the Consortium and Conference a very affordable opportunity for students.
The completed Consortium Application should be sent to Kim Sawers (ksawers@spu.edu) by August 28. Students attending the consortium are automatically registered for the conference. New faculty accepted for the consortium will need to register for the conference.
To be considered for the free hotel room, students must submit their application forms by August 28. Preference will be given to students who did not receive free hotel rooms at the 2008 ABO conference.
We are excited about this opportunity to bring together young behavioral researchers and more experienced researchers in the field to exchange ideas and experiences. We hope that you will be able to attend.
