Please consider submitting your research proposal for a Professional Development Workshop (PDW) titled "OMT & DEI Intersect: Performing Research and Publishing on Organizations and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion."
Overview:
Part 1 and the presentations in Part 2 (details below) are open to everyone. Participation in the roundtable discussions is determined by application.
In Part 2, participants will engage in roundtable discussions led by six distinguished scholars. These sessions are designed to foster dialogue and development of paper ideas or ongoing projects within the broad theme of the PDW. Each roundtable will be accessible only to pre-registered participants who have submitted a two-page extended abstract of a project related to the workshop's theme. A discussant will be assigned to each proposal to provide focused feedback and guidance.
Submission Guidelines:
- Topic Focus: The two-page proposals must specifically address research questions related to the intersection of Organization and Management Theory (OMT) and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Topics of interest include how organizational and institutional pressures influence an organization's adoption of DEI policies and practices, as well as the consequences of these practices on organizational outcomes.
- How to Submit: Proposals should be submitted using the following form: https://forms.gle/aYhBPEZCVqSccF8E6
- Deadline for submission: We have extended the deadline to July 15, 2024.
