Facilitator: Dr. Don Livingston, Professor of Education
Session Overview
Your dissertation represents years of research, writing, and professional learning—but it does not have to end on a library shelf. This webinar explores practical ways to transform dissertation research into journal articles, chapters in edited books, and other publications of interest to educators.
Participants will learn how to move from dissertation writer to published scholar by identifying the most publishable parts of their research, finding appropriate publication outlets, and reshaping dissertation writing for new audiences.
Key Takeaways
Participants will:
- Understand why “your dissertation is not your article” and how the purpose, audience, length, and structure of scholarly publications differ from a dissertation.
- Find the right publication outlet by identifying journals, edited books, and other venues that align with their topic, methodology, and intended audience.
- Transform dissertation research into a manuscript by narrowing the focus, restructuring the literature and methods, and emphasizing the findings and implications that matter most to readers.
- Build a scholarly identity by viewing the dissertation not as the end of a degree program, but as the beginning of an ongoing program of writing, presenting, and contributing to the profession.
Target Audience
The webinar is designed especially for doctoral candidates, recent graduates, dissertation advisors, and teacher educators interested in helping their doctoral students move their research beyond the dissertation
