PhD students - and other researchers - working on themes like corporate social responsibility, corporate citizenship, business in society, often have difficulty locating their work. Are there theories out there to help me? Into which part of my university or business school do I really fit? In which academic discipline(s) am I located, and does this question matter? Who are my colleagues out there?
If you ever ask yourself these questions, the Warwick PhD workshop is just what you need! Over two days you will have a chance to:
ask and seek answers to all these questions
meet fellow PhD students from across Europe
present your own thesis plans to a group of fellow researchers
start building the networks that you will need in the years to come.
The workshop will be co-ordinated by Professor Colin Crouch of the University of Warwick Business School, and forms part of a programme of activities to raise the profile and academic strength of work on corporate responsibility organised by the European Academy for Business in Society (EABIS) with funding from the European Commission’s Framework Programme Six.
It will start with a dinner on the Friday evening (19 May), and continue until lunch on the Sunday. The sessions will start with discussion of a paper on Research methodologies in the business and society field by Colin Crouch, and will continue with a mixture of plenary discussions of the central issues, with small-group sessions in which participants will present their own PhD topics. Meals and accommodation will be provided on site at the conference venue at the University of Warwick in central England. There will be a limit of 30 participants, to ensure that everyone has a chance to contribute.
