2013 PhD Colloquium details.

28 February - 1 March 2013

Hosted by the School of Accounting and Commercial Law & New Zealand Institute of Chartered Accountants

Venue: Pipitea Campus, Railway West Wing

Following the success of colloquia for New Zealand PhD candidates in accounting held in 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2011 at Victoria University of Wellington, it has been decided to repeat the event.

Aims

The aims are to facilitate a network amongst accounting PhD candidates in New Zealand and to help develop their individual research and careers.

Faculty

• Prof. Stuart McLeay (University of Sydney)
• Prof. Jesse Dillard (Portland State University)
• Prof. Kerry Jacobs (Australian National University)
• Prof. David Emanuel (University of Auckland)
• Prof. Trevor Hopper (University of Sussex, England)

Programme

The detailed programme is subject to review when numbers and participants are better known. However, it will include plenary sessions on topics pertinent to each stage of successfully completing a PhD and its aftermath, with opportunities for individual participants to present their work to date and gain feedback in group sessions and/or tutorials. It is expected that participants will attend both days, though under exceptional circumstances, one day's attendance may be possible.

Participants

PhD candidates at all stages ranging from consideration of registration to close to completion. Masters-level students undertaking thesis work are also encouraged to attend.
