This full-day workshop gives an overview of existing strategies and techniques to efficiently and effectively organise one’s schedule for the dissertation phase. Participants will be introduced to project management tools and how to apply them to their dissertation projects. Please note that this workshop focuses solely on the dissertation phase and that this is not a general introduction to project management.

The aim of this workshop is to acquaint participants with common strategies, methods, tools, and principles of time and project management. One part of the workshop is designed for participants to discuss and edit their own project schedules. Ideally, they will leave the workshop with a concrete and manageable work plan based on principles of prioritisation and individual reflection on their working styles.

Time and project management tools belong to so-called ‘transferable skills.’ The workshop will thus also prepare participants for future work in academia or academic management.

The workshop particularly addresses doctoral researchers in their first year, but is open to doctoral researchers at all stages of their projects.

Participants are asked to participate in a survey (a link will be circulated prior to the course) and to send in an existing schedule and/or work plan for the dissertation to the course instructor.

// Dr. Anna Tabouratzidis (JLU) is a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of English. Her doctoral dissertation focused on the epistemic value of speculative fictions, their ability to narrate future scenarios and to critically reflect on present concerns of our hypercomplex present. In merging cultural narratological aspects and theories with a sociological approach, her study focuses on the affordances and limits of contemporary speculative fictions’ aesthetic and thematic forms in reflecting on current concerns and configuring cultural imaginaries of future/s. Of special interest are modes of storytelling and the complexity of storyworlds created. Further research interests include science fiction studies, literature and science, sociological approaches to literature, and ecocriticism.
