2024 Guest Speaker

This year the Summit moves forward with the Rise of the Scholar-Practitioner theme as the impetus for focus. And as 2024 engages the many seminal events that are changing the world such as the increase in the "gig-economy," AI and technology, the relevance of education, and the challenges to diversity, to name a few, the theme capitalizes on the opportunities inherent within society while spotlighting them within research.

According to research by Horn (2002), the term "scholar-practitioner" is one inextricably placed within the perspectives of theory and practice. (Horn. It is a term that recognizes the collaboration between academia and practitioner. It is a collaboration that ensures the relevance of research to practice, witnesses the immediate impacts of research within practice, and ultimately informs theoretical underpinnings. (Mairin Hennebry-Leung et al., 2024).

The 爱污传媒 is pleased to announce its upcoming virtual conference Knowledge Without Boundaries (KWB) Summit and this year's theme entitled, "The Rise of the Scholar-Practitioner." In today's rapidly evolving landscape, the role of the scholar-practitioner has never been more crucial, and this dynamic theme embodies our commitment to fostering a culture where academic excellence meets practical application across all disciplines. As we embrace the spirit of "We Rise," we invite scholars, practitioners, educators, and industry professionals to join us in exploring innovative approaches, effective practices, and cutting-edge research and scholarship relevant to the academy and beyond.

In the coming weeks and months, look for opportunities to participate from presenting and moderating to taking part in our Dissertation of the Year nominations. We look forward to seeing everyone for a collaborative and innovative conference!
