[ecrea] CFA Ph.D. workshop at the 5th International Crisis Communication Conference

--- CALL FOR APPLICATIONS ---

Ph.D. workshop jointly held by ECREA’s Crisis Communication Section and
Young Scholars Network (YECREA) at the 5th International Crisis
Communication Conference

October 19, 2017, 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. at Universidade Católica Portuguesa, 
Lisbon

We would like to invite all Young Scholars to apply for the YECREA Ph.D.
workshop organised within the ECREA's Crisis Communication Section / 5th
International Crisis Communication Conference that will take place in
Lisbon, 19-21 September 2017.

The aim of the workshop is to provide a forum for doctoral students whose
Ph.D. is related to the broad and interdisciplinary field of Crisis
Communication. Participants present an outline of their Ph.D. project and
receive external feedback by Andreas Schwarz (Ilmenau University) and
another senior scholar who will be nominated in accordance with the
addressed areas of research. After a presentation of up to 20 minutes, the
senior scholars serving as respondents will provide an initial feedback,
followed by a Q&A session involving the other workshop participants as
well.

The presentations should address the following questions:

1. What is the problem that motivated you to conduct the research presented?
2. What is (are) your leading research question(s)?
3. How do you try to answer these questions methodologically?
4. What do you hope to contribute to your field of research?
5. Optional: What are your (preliminary) findings?
6. Which challenges are you facing at the moment?

While regular conference panels rarely offer the opportunity for speakers
to receive in-depth feedback, this workshop is conceived as a separate and
more personal space to present to and receive feedback from experienced
scholars. It mainly aims at Ph.D. students whose research project is still
at an early stage, but it is also possible to participate if you already
have preliminary findings.

To apply for the workshop, please prepare the following two documents:
• an extended abstract of up to 500 words outlining your project
(literature excluded)
• a short letter of motivation stating why you would like to participate
and which questions you want to see addressed; it should also mention your
doctoral advisor as well as a rough time schedule for your project.

The documents must be submitted to Florian Meissner
((florian.meissner /at/ tu-dortmund.de)) until July 1. There is no need to be a
member of the Crisis Communication Section to apply, but please note that
the capacity of the workshop is limited. A jury will select the
applications according to standards of academic quality like theoretical
foundation, stringency, and originality. There is no participation fee,
but participants will have to pay travel costs on their own.

If you are also interested to present at the subsequent conference dealing
with Risk and Crisis Communication in the Digital Age, please submit your
abstract by April 17, 2017. For details, check the conference website:
