EDAD.8171 Conference and Research II
A major focus of the doctoral program in educational leadership involves linking theories, ideologies, and applied research to professional practice in changing suburbs and small cities. This course is one of the experiences that focuses on the linking process and provides students with an opportunity to learn about contemporary problems and solutions. Doctoral students will have three options: 1) to participate in School of Education Research Day to show their own research projects; 2) to organize and manage a one-day summer conference on Changing Suburbs and Small Cities, and to solicit academic and professional presentations on relevant academic and professional topics; 3) to choose to make presentations at the academic conference or to conduct scholarly workshops based on their applied research and field work (need prior approval of the instructor). This course may be repeated as needed.
