The AoIR Doctoral Colloquium will take place in October 2021 in conjunction with AoIR2021 Independence. For many years, this event has provided PhD students working in Internet research with the opportunity to workshop on research projects, to address methodological and theoretical challenges, and to exchange informal advice on juggling the multiple pressures associated with job searching, publishing, and finishing the dissertation with senior scholars. As always, we have excellent mentors in place and we are always looking for more! If you are interested in mentoring for the AoIR2021 Doctoral Colloquium please email ac@aoir.org. To apply for a place at the colloquium, please provide: a) a two-page summary of your research. This should provide a context for the research, describe the methods used, the progress to date, and primary concerns and issues that you’d like to discuss with others; b) A brief statement indicating why you want to participate in the doctoral colloquium and what you hope to get out of it. Submissions for the colloquium should be uploaded via our submission website here: https://www.conftool.org/aoir2021/ Submissions are due 15 June 2021. This year, like the rest of the AoIR conference, the Doctoral Colloquium will be held online. The final date for the Colloquium is yet to be announced. If you have any questions, please do get in touch AoIRDCchair@aoir.org and please do circulate this message throughout your networks. We look forward to your submissions.
