Preceding EnANPAD 2021, the Professional Development Workshops will take place between Sept. 29 and Oct. 01, 2021.
More than an academic event, EnANPAD has always been a space to meet dear acquaintances, find out what is happening in our field, and meet new people. However, for the second year in a row, the pandemic forces us to meet online. To keep the community engaged and to bring cross-cutting themes of interest to various divisions, but otherwise unfeasibly approached with the due attention in the regular event, ANPAD’s new Board of Directors has challenged me to coordinate a pre-meeting: the Professional Development Workshops (PDWs).
From September 29 to October 1, 2021, ANPAD will hold a series of open activities aimed to explore issues affecting both students and faculty in our field. EnANPAD delegates will have access to the workshops through the event platform, while the public will enjoy the content through ANPAD’s YouTube channel.
With people from both inside and outside the academy, the round tables were arranged to be diverse in various aspects, including gender, race, epistemological and methodological heterogeneities, and people at the beginning of their careers. As the poet Chico Buarque would say, “Evoe, young people at sight!”
On the first day, we will explore issues related to the job market after the doctorate. For example, what are the prospects in a scenario in which more people obtain a master’s degree and a doctorate degree in Administration, but fewer vacancies are open in higher education institutions? Is looking for alternatives abroad a solution? If so, what are the limits and possibilities? Can our graduates apply for positions in the non-academic market? Is there a “match” between the competences we are developing in our graduate programs and what non profit and for-profit companies expect?
On the second day, we will address methodological issues at the frontier of knowledge and activities of interest to both graduate program managers (e.g, international accreditation, government assessments and regulations, and interface with undergraduate studies) and researchers in the field. When it comes to researchers, female PhDs in Administration, Accounting and Tourism have faced gender and racial violence, with women still being silenced in academia. Opening this space for dialogue, listening and reflection is essential to discuss the topic with due seriousness and eventually transform our surroundings.
Finally, on the last day, we will hold the Doctoral Consortium. Coordinated by Professor Josiane Oliveria (PPA/UEM and PPGADM/UFG) and Professor Marcelo Pagliarussi (PPGCC/FEA-RP/USP), a diverse faculty will provide a series of activities to doctoral students from programs affiliated to ANPAD aiming to contribute to the development of their theses.
