Hello GDO!
We've heard back from quite a few of you about wanting to participate in the PDW publishing workshop that will be held at this summer's Academy meeting. With the end of the semester crunch - some of you just didn't have enough time to pull together a manuscript by the May deadline.
So we have great news - we're able to extend the deadline to June 30th!
This session is aimed at helping you get your diversity research published and we've enlisted an all-star cast of reviewers to help in that quest! Details about manuscript submissions, the review process and the workshop format are described below.
We hope you can join us in this productive learning experience!
All the Best,
Belle, Robin and Raymond

Objective of Workshop
The goal of this PDW session is to advance the careers of junior faculty -especially those in under-represented groups - by helping them publish diversity research in top-tier academic journals. This session will offer participants a chance to have their work reviewed by some of the leading scholars in our field.
Deadline for registration and submission of manuscripts is
extended to June 30th 2006.
Please contact Raymond Trau at raymond.trau@deakin.edu.au for manuscript submission and registration information.
Manuscript Submission Process
Manuscripts will be selected based on the following criteria: 1) they are within the content domain of GDO, 2) they are not currently under journal review, and 3) they are in near-final form for submission to a refereed journal. Although authors may submit more than one manuscript, only one per author will be selected for review. Authors will also provide a focus for the review process by describing a particular dilemma, question, or concern s/he would like the reviewers to discuss, as well as the name of the targeted journal.
This session is aimed primarily at junior faculty, but doctoral students are encouraged to attend this session in order to learn about the review process. All participants must pre-register for this session. Individuals may register and attend this session without having a manuscript under review in order to gain insights into the review process. Due to the intense nature of the review process, a limited number of manuscripts will be selected for review.
Junior faculty who wish to participate in this session must submit their manuscripts to Raymond Trau (raymond.trau@deakin.edu.au) by June 30th, 2006 in order to provide adequate time for selecting manuscripts and the review process.
Session Description
Authors, discussants/reviewers and scribes (who write notes and report back to the large group on key learnings) will be assigned to different review tables based on either the topic or the targeted journal. All participants will be asked to read the manuscript(s) that will be discussed at their table before coming to the session in order to provide helpful feedback to the authors.
This session will offer an important opportunity to discuss major principles and practices of publishing diversity research. Authors and other participants will gain key insights into the publication process and will be able to network with diversity scholars, review board members and journal editors.
