    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 including current and past
    editors of several major journals in our field, such as AMJ, ASQ,
    Group and Organization Management, OBHDP and Organization Science.
    Deadline for registration and submission of manuscripts is June 30th,
    2008. Please contact Raymond Trau at
    raymond.trau@college.monash.edu.au for registration and questions
    about manuscript submission.

    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. Due to the
    intense nature of the review process, a limited number of manuscripts
    will be selected for review.

    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. Individuals may register and attend this session
    without having a manuscript under review in order to gain insights
    into the review process. All participants must pre-register for this
    session.

    Junior faculty who wish to participate in this session must submit
    their manuscripts to Raymond Trau (raymond.trau@college.monash.edu.au)
    by June 30th, 2008 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.
