Call for Papers

?

PURPOSE. The Paper Development Workshop on "Gender and Diversity" is a pre-Colloquium activity that aims to help scholars develop their papers in close interaction with leading researchers in the field. In addition to the Gender and Diversity sub-theme (04), therefore, this workshop offers an arena for scholars sharing an interest in the field of Gender and Diversity to develop their ideas towards publishable research articles. However, more than in the regular sub-theme, the focus will be on small group interaction and pragmatic issues related to publishing. The workshop is open to all scholars, though preference will be given to PhD students and early career researchers.

Accepted papers will be briefly presented and thoroughly discussed in "round table" sessions with leading scholars in the field. These scholars include Yvonne Benschop, Marta Calas, Silvia Gherardi, Robyn Thomas and Mustafa Özbilgin.

The workshop takes place on Wednesday, July 4, 2012, between 9:00 and 15:00. The day will start with a short overview of gender and diversity research, followed by the presentation and discussion of the accepted papers. All participants are expected to have read the papers of their fellow session presenters and be ready to contribute to their discussion.
