2011 PNP Division Professional Development Workshops: Call for Proposals

The Public and Nonprofit Division (PNP) encourages creative PDW proposals that relate to the 2011 Conference theme of "West Meets East: Enlightening, Balancing, and Transcending."

These sessions will be scheduled between Friday 8:00 am and Saturday 8:00 pm in San Antonio.  

We are especially interested in proposals that:

- Showcase the conference theme explicitly through public and nonprofit management issues;

- Complement our Doctoral Student Consortium

(addressing: methods, job search, career development, course development, publishing, etc.);

- Explore teaching and research in different settings (international, interdisciplinary, cross-sectoral);

- Foster collaboration between practitioners and academics;

- Address timely and important issues (Humanitarian Emergencies, Health Care; Security; International Interventions; Diplomacy, Peacekeeping and Development; the Economic Crisis, etc.)

- Invite and encourage co-sponsorship with other divisions and have varied and multiple participants.

Non-traditional formats especially encouraged. We only discourage traditional paper presentations. Please submit your PDW proposals at http://submissions.aomonline.org/2011.

The deadline for proposals is Tuesday January 11, 2011.

Contact PNP's PDW Chair, Eric Martin at e.martin@bucknell.edu or (570) 577-3628 with ideas or questions.
