This three-day Writing Retreat will provide delegates with the space to progress a paper that they are currently working on. The retreat's structure will provide a mixture of scheduled activities as well as dedicated writing time to help facilitate the writing process. Additionally, individual one-to-one sessions with the retreat leader will be available for participants to discuss particular issues, concerns, and aspirations. The writing retreat is to allow the delegates to fully immerse themselves into the event and their writing for the three-day duration.
Lecturer: Dr Mina Beigi BA, MA, Academic CIPD, HEA Fellow, PhD
Dr Mina Beigi is an Associate Professor of OB and HRM in Southampton Business School, Co-Director of Work Futures Research Centre, and Research Integrity Champion in Faculty of Social Sciences.
Mina studies work-nonwork interface, career success, and understudied careers using in-depth qualitative methodologies. She strives to uncover unexplored career trajectories and theorize the role of understudied contexts in how individuals navigate their careers and combine personal and professional lives. Mina’s research informs individuals who take ownership of their careers and helps organisations learn more about their employees' work and nonwork needs.
Among the populations whose career Mina has studied so far are distinguished professors (the top 2-5% scholars in their fields of study worldwide), high-profile MMO gamers, and gig workers (female internet taxi drivers in Tehran). Her current ongoing research projects focus on careers of Nobel Laureates in Science and dual-earner couples with school-age children during the Covid-19 lockdown. Her work has been published in Human Relations, Journal of Vocational Behavior, International Journal of Management Reviews, Applied Psychology: An International Review, and The International Journal of Human Resource Management among others.
She currently serves as the Associate Editor of Human Relations. She has served as the Associate Editor of Human Resource Development Review (2017-2020) and the editor of the Academy of Management Careers Division newsletter (2018-2020). She is a frequent reviewer for over twenty journals and sits on the editorial board of Human Resource Management, Human Resource Development Review, and Human Resource Development International.
Mina’s research has been funded by a number of institutions including the British Academy, Texas A&M University College of Education and Human Development, Iran National Science Foundation, Liverpool Business School, Idaho State University, and Southampton Business School.
Mina is interested in sharing her research findings with the world of work, and has extensive experience in working with industry. She provides consultancy when she thinks she can make a difference, and has delivered over a hundred contextualized workshops on work-life balance and soft skills to managers in multiple industries including banking, insurance, and healthcare.
Mina holds a PhD in Human Resource Development from Texas A&M University (2015), and a PhD in Human Resource Management from Allameh Tabatabaei University (2008). Prior to joining Southampton Business School in 2017, she worked as a Senior Lecturer in HRM at Liverpool John Moores University, as a Research Fellow at Texas A&M University, as an Assistant Professor at University of Tehran, and as an Adjunct Professor at Sharif University of Technology and Allameh Tabatabaei University.
