地点：管理科研楼 第二案例室

Abstract: Selecting a topic for research is an elusive challenge that confronts scholars, especially when they are relatively early into their career. More often than not, researchers struggle to identify a contemporary topic from which to craft a viable research study. To this end, I will walk the audience through my own journey of selecting a phenomenon of interest for investigation and formulating a long-term research program based on the phenomenon. Specifically, I will distinguish the investigability of a phenomenon from its publishability in order to draw attention to the kinds of considerations I have when devising a long-term research program. The purpose of this seminar is not to prescribe a ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution, but rather, to share my experience in hope of starting a discourse on how a sustainable long-term research program can be developed.
