Doctoral School in International Development<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Friday, September 21 and Saturday, September 22, 2018, Ottawa<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

School Leaders:<\/p>\n

Professor Haroon Akram-Lodhi, Trent University
Professor Bipasha Baruah, Western University<\/p>\n

The Canadian Association for the Study of International Development (CASID) is pleased to announce the 2018 CASID PhD School, the second of an annual event scheduled over three years (2017-2019).<\/p>\n

Objectives:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

The aim of the school is to provide doctoral students with the opportunity to receive extensive intellectual and methodological advice on their doctoral research as well as other aspects of professional development such as publishing their research in peer-reviewed, policy and popular media venues; identifying future professional opportunities; and planning for careers within and outside academe. Taken together, these skills will enable doctoral students to pursue academic research within university settings as well as non-academic careers in research with international development organizations. In recent years, there has been growing pressure upon universities in general \u2014 and the social sciences, arts and humanities in particular \u2014 to provide students not just with the theoretical and conceptual grounding in different disciplinary and interdisciplinary fields but also with professional skills and training for well-respected careers in non-academic environments. Participants in the PhD School will learn about such options and career trajectories from established scholar-practitioners as well as professionals in policy formulation, development consulting and civil society organizations. They will also have opportunities to network with their peers in doctoral programs across Canada and emerging and senior scholars and practitioners in international development.<\/p>\n

Eligibility and Selection Criteria:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

The CASID PhD School is open to all doctoral students in the disciplinary or interdisciplinary study of international development, across the different regions in the world, and at all stages of their doctoral research. A narrative description of the dissertation topic (to a maximum of five double-spaced typed pages), a curriculum vitae, and a short letter of application explaining why the student wants to take part in the doctoral school will be required for submission. Applicants must make sure to include in their letter of application:<\/p>\n
