Building on the success of this annual workshop focused on writing and teaching cases reflecting under-represented identities, we invite you to enjoy the beautiful Providence College campus and Rhode Island seacoast for this year’s PCSB – The PhD Project Case Writing Workshop.

We are excited to come together to help first-time case writers:

• understand the case writing and publishing process
• create a draft of a case and teaching note that includes under-represented identities as a topic, protagonist, or focus
• develop a community of case writers for continuing support
• grow your case teaching skills, both in planning and delivery

Faculty Leads and Presenters Include:

Andy Borchers, co-editor, Journal of Critical Incidents, published by the Society for Case Research; professor of management and associate dean of Lipscomb University College of Business

Ann Hackert, at-large director, Society for Case Research; director of assessment and professor of finance at Idaho State University
