Discussion: View Thread

Hello colleagues,

I invite you to submit a paper or symposium proposal to The Administrative Sciences Association of Canada GENDER AND DIVERSITY IN ORGANIZATIONS DIVISION for its 43rd annual conference - details below.

Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
June 13-16, 2015
~ Historic Proportions: Charting A New Path ~

ASAC 2015 will be hosted by the Sobey School of Business in Halifax, Nova Scotia. The conference theme, "Historic Proportions: Charting A New Path," came from a combination of recognizing the historical significance of Halifax as one of Canada's oldest cities with the importance of problematizing the past to better understand the present and theorize the future.

Halifax is Atlantic Canada's premier meeting and convention city as well as a popular tourist destination. Its pleasant climate, rich history and vibrant cultural scene have made it popular with visitors for more than 250 years. Halifax combines the international appeal of a major port city and naval base with the youthful spirit of a university town and the heritage of one of Canada's most historic communities. It is accessible by air from many cities in Canada and the USA with daily scheduled flights on Air Canada, Porter Airlines, WestJet, United, US Airways, and Delta, in addition to seasonal service on Air Transat, Condor, Europe Airpost and Iceland Air.

• Only papers that are included in the conference proceedings are eligible for awards. Authors have the option of sending a five-page abridged version for inclusion in the conference proceedings, instead of the full text of the paper.

All papers must be submitted via the conference webpage www.2015.asac.ca no later than 12:00 noon on February 15, 2015. Late submissions and submissions made directly to divisional executive members will not be accepted.
