Hi all,
Here is a request from Gayle Baugh.
Have a good week,
Bobbie

Dear GDO Colleagues,
If you have been involved in research on gender and diversity effects on careers, then this message is for you!
Can you help us to identify the classic, most influential journal articles that look at careers of under-represented groups? What are the journal articles that you return to for insights and cite in the majority of your careers-related research? Which articles on careers and diversity do you consider "must reads" for doctoral students?
We are very interested in your answers to these questions! Information Age Publishing (IAP) has decided to publish a book entitled "The Foundations of Career Theory," and we want to ensure that this volume includes research on the careers of women and those of under-represented groups. This IAP offering will include a reprint of several "classic" articles, each accompanied by a contemporary analysis of the impact the article has made on the field and its potential for guiding careers research into the future.
Please take a few minutes to e-mail to us your nominations for the classic journal articles in the careers literature (no books or book chapters, please). Really, you know you want to, so e-mail NOW, before you are distracted by the rest of your workload! It is important that this collection of classic journal articles be inclusive, so please help to direct this project by sending your nominations.
Please send a complete reference (or you may send more than one) by October 31 to sullivanonsabbatical@gmail.com. We really want your insights, and we appreciate your willingness to provide them.
We will be sitting by our computers waiting for those nominations to roll in! With Sherry Sullivan on sabbatical this semester, we need to keep her busy ("idle hands are the devil's playground"). So please fill up her e-mail box with nominations!
If you would like to us to email you the finalized list, please indicate so in your message, along with your suggested references. Thank you again for your assistance in this important project.
