Greetings GDO Listservers!
Raymond Trau, Shaun Pichler, and I have organized a PDW for the 2012 AOM
Meeting (August 3-7, in Boston, Massachusetts) entitled "Developing a
Research Program that Includes Sexual Minority Workplace Issues." This
highly interactive PDW will provide an opportunity for attendees
interested in conducting organizational research related to sexual
orientation and gender identity to have access to career guidance from a
diverse and distinguished panel of scholars with successful research
programs that focus on or include research in those areas.
In order to ensure that we secure a room of appropriate size for this
session, we'd like to get some idea of how many people are interested in
attending. Although the time of the PDW is not yet finalized, we have
requested Saturday, August 4th, 2012, from 1 to 3 p.m. If you are
interested in attending this PDW, we would appreciate if you would please
reply directly to
anthony.turner@sauder.ubc.ca (rather than replying to
everyone on the listserv). Doing so will not sign you up for the session
nor will it obligate you to attend. This is for room planning only.
We hope to see you in Boston.
Best,
Anthony Turner, Raymond Trau, and Shaun Pichler

and improve social justice.
