2008 PNP Division Professional Development Workshops: Call for Proposals
The Public and Nonprofit Division (PNP) encourages creative proposals
for PDW sessions that would advance professional development knowledge
at the 2008 Annual Conference in Anaheim, California. These sessions are
scheduled between Friday 1 p.m. (8/8/08) and Sunday noon (8/10/08). We
seek PDW topics that link to the Conference theme of "The Questions We
Ask”.
In addition to our annual Junior Faculty Consortium and Doctoral Student
Consortium, we are especially interested in seeking topics that:
- Showcase our knowledge of “Doing Good” by exploring topical and
current PNP issues (e.g. tsunami and Hurricane Katrina response and
other “BIG” issues).
- Review publication outlets and quality standards for journals that
specifically address PNP issues and those that accept high quality work
irrespective of research context.
- Explore mid-career issues, research method issues, or ones that
explore statistical skills, advancing research for publication, and
networking.
- Review teaching topics and innovations in teaching.
Beyond the possibilities listed above, please submit other innovative
ideas. All sessions can take a number of formats: workshop, interactive
panels, skits, debates, and tours -- in either a traditional or
nontraditional format.
Collaborations between practitioners and academics are particularly
welcome to build upon each other's strengths. We also encourage
designing sessions that other divisions may want to co-sponsor and/or
co-organize. Please submit your PDW proposal, including the name of the
organizer(s) (with affiliation, mail, phone, etc.) its title, brief
description of the session, the expected outcomes to the participants,
desired time required, preferred date and time, anticipated target
audience, room layout suggested, and A/V needs.
The deadline for proposals is Nov 15, 2007. When you submit your PDW
proposal this year, please use the new online submission process at
http://submissions.aomonline.org/2008. Submissions no longer go
directly to the PDW Chair. However, if you have any questions about a
possible PDW, please do not hesitate to contact the PNP PDW Chair, Neil
Boyd, at
Boyd@lycoming.edu. Thank you for your active assistance in
making the Anaheim Conference a success.
