Call for Manuscripts- Journal of Management and Organization
Special issue: Profitable margins: Gender and Diversity informing management and organizational studies
Deadline for Papers: 20th July 2008
Edited by:
Alison Sheridan, University of New England

Glenda Strachan, Griffith University
The Journal of Management & Organization (JMO) is currently seeking academic papers for this Special Issue, the purpose of which is to focus on how gender and diversity scholarship can more generally inform our understanding of management and organizations. Submitted papers should focus on the contribution of gender and diversity research to management and organization studies.
Consistent with the Journal of Management and Organization format, we seek theoretical and conceptual articles; qualitative and quantitative empirical research articles which include discussion on how gender and diversity research can inform management and organization studies; literature reviews guiding future directions; articles on gender and diversity management education (including curriculum development), embedding gender and diversity in organizational learning and methodological advances. The gender and diversity scholarship has evolved markedly over the past two decades and we believe it is timely for a special issue of JMO devoted to reflections on the lessons learned from it, the application of these lessons to management and organization studies and where the scholarship is likely to move in the next decade. In particular, we are seeking work which provides a comprehensive tracking of the gender and diversity literature to date, with a focus on what the key research themes will be in the future. We welcome submissions from authors in Australia and New Zealand, as well as internationally.
We are open to a range of topic areas. Listed below are some issues that we believe would fit well within this issue but this list is not exhaustive:
Intersections between different identity categories
Diversity and organizational culture
Feminist research methodologies applied to organizational research
Researching diversity between different levels of organizational analysis
Gender and organizational structure and design
Gender as a metaphor in organizational analysis
Deconstructing the confluence of gender and sex
Manuscript submissions are invited by the submission deadline and observing Author Guidelines and Journal Style at http://www.jmanorg.com/authorguidelines/.
No preference will be given to articles adopting a particular research paradigm and all papers will undergo the double-blind peer review process.
The issue will include 8-10 articles of approximately 8,000 words each, and is expected to be published in Journal of Management and Organization volume 15/5 (September 2009).
Submission deadline: 20 July 2008.
