Dear Colleague,
 
DRS Learn X Design 2019 Fifth International Conference for Design Education Researchers will host a PhD Pit-Stop, a one-day event tuned to the needs of PhD researchers across design disciplines. We invite PhD researchers to participate in the PhD Pit-Stop to present their research, receive individual feedback, explore various dimensions and aspects of PhD research, and share insights from their PhD journey with an international design research community.
 
The PhD Pit-Stop day will start with short presentations by PhD researchers, followed by interactive discussions with peers and supervisors. The main event of the day will be the PhD Pit-Stop workshop, where supervisors host PhD students in separate discussion zones dedicated to specific stages, issues and challenges of the PhD research. The scope we will cover throughout the day includes the following:

• What is your PhD research area and how might you problematize it?
• How might you strengthen the theoretical foundation of your research?
• What are the alternative methodologies you can adopt for your research?
• Are you dealing with atypical data analysis?
• Do you have early findings you need help to interpret?
• What are the major insights that you would like to share with your peers?
• What are the academic and non-academic career paths you can follow?
 
There will be a series of short lectures distributed throughout the day including “Formulating Research Goals and Questions” by Prof. Dr. Gülay Hasdoğan, “Quality in Design Research: Tales from a Journal Editor” by Prof. Peter Lloyd, “Conducting Research through Design“ by Prof. Dr. Owain Pedgley, and “Communicating Design Research: Evolution of a Research Framework from a PhD to Postdoctoral Research” by Asst. Prof. Dr. Gülşen Töre Yargın.
 
On the same evening the DRSLXD19 conference welcome reception will be held, and the night will finish with a PhD Pit-Stop Party in the city!
 
Participants’ short presentations will be published in the online conference proceedings.
 
Attached you may find the PhD Pit-Stop application form. We would kindly like to ask you to share our e-mail with friends and colleagues who you believe would be interested in participation.
 
Sincerely yours,
 
DRS Learn X Design 2019 Chairs, 
Naz A.G.Z. Börekçi, Fatma Korkut and Dalsu Özgen Koçyıldırım
