We hope you successfully completed the spring semester and are now on to the start of a great summer! During this challenging time, the Society for Case Research’s board of directors felt that it was important to recognize your dedication and participation in SCR by continuing with our tradition of a summer case writers workshop this year. We are pleased to invite you to take part in the
42nd Annual Society for Case Research/Global Jesuit Case Series Summer Workshop.
This year’s workshop will be held entirely online through Zoom on Tuesday, July 28, and Wednesday, July 29,
2020!As with past workshops, this year’s event will be a great opportunity for you to receive feedback from other case writers about your cases, critical incidents, and embryo cases. The only difference will be that it will be held entirely online, and sessions will be recorded for later review by participants.
Also part of this summer’s workshop will be our popular case writers bootcamp program, to be held immediately preceding the regular workshop sessions on Monday, July 27, 2020. Led by instructors with years of experience as case writers and editors of case journals, the case writers bootcamp will help those new to case study research and writing (as well as those wanting a “refresher” on the subject!) refine their ideas into case studies that can be effectively used in the classroom and pass through the peer-review process toward publication in case journals.
Although we welcome submissions of any sort usually associated with case studies and case teaching, given the current challenges facing our society today, we would like to specifically invite work on the theme of operating in a time of crisis and pandemic. Case studies, critical incidents, case embryos (case ideas in the earliest stages of development), as
well as panel discussions, on responses to crisis and challenge will be of particular interest. Also, because so many of us have had to abruptly switch to working remotely (through technologies such as Zoom), work on case research, writing, and teaching in the current environment will also be welcome.
If you would like to submit a case, critical incident, case embryo, or an idea of a panel discussion to the workshop, the submission deadline is Monday, July 13, 2020. The workshop registration fee is $90, which covers activities on July 28 and July 29, and your one-year membership in SCR; the case writers bootcamp on Monday, July 27, is an additional $10.
Please visit ignited.global to register for the workshop and submit your cases, critical incidents, and case
embryos here.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Patrick Schultzor any of the other members of the summer workshop organizing group.
We hope to see you on Zoom in July!
Sincerely, Your 2020 SCR Summer Workshop Organizing Group!
