Dear GDO List Members,
The GDO Division invites your paper and symposium submissions for the 2010 <st1:placetype w:st="on">Academy</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Management Conference</st1:placename> in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Montreal</st1:city>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Canada</st1:country-region></st1:place>!
GDO <st1:city w:st="on">Mission</st1:city> and Domain: The mission of the Gender and Diversity in Organizations (GDO) Division of the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">Academy</st1:placetype> of <st1:placename w:st="on">Management</st1:placename></st1:place> is to generate and disseminate knowledge about gender and diversity within and outside of organizations, to embrace diverse perspectives in organizational research and education, and to support social justice through the inclusion of marginalized voices in members' research and practice. More detail is provided by the domain statement, which can be found at http://division.aomonline.org/gdo/inside/inside_domain.htm.
Submissions: The Division encourages any and all paper and symposium submissions that fit into the Division's domain as described above. We welcome papers and symposia from all countries and from all conceptual perspectives. Papers can make theoretical, methodological, or empirical advances. Both quantitative and qualitative research papers are invited, as well as integrative reviews that advance knowledge in a subfield. Symposia should bring together multiple views on a specific or general research topic, showcasing an established or developing area of interest. We especially welcome papers and symposia that fit the conference theme: Dare to Care: Passion and Compassion in Management Practice and Research. "Dare to Care" encourages wellbeing and value creation for all stakeholders, through passion for the work being conducted and compassion for those impacted by this work. The conference theme resonates with the Division's beliefs in passion for the research and practice of gender and diversity in organizations and compassion for marginalized voices by including and embracing all perspectives. The conference theme thus invites scholarship that encourages managers to address opportunities and problems in caring ways that ensure vibrant, inclusive, and sustainable futures.
Dates: ALL submissions will be made via the Academy's submission system which is scheduled to open on November 3, 2009. The hard deadline for all submissions is January 14, 2010 at 5:00 PM ET (<st1:state w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">New York</st1:place></st1:state> time).
Division Awards: GDO paper submissions are eligible to win the following awards, as appropriate and applicable.
· The Dorothy Harlow/McGraw Hill Best Paper Award will be presented for the best conference paper.
· The Sage Dissertation Award will be given to the best conference paper based on a dissertation. The dissertation must be defended between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2009. Papers considered for the Sage Dissertation Award must be sole-authored. Papers to be considered for this award should be clearly identified as such at the time of submission and the date of the dissertation defense should be noted in the submission.
· The Best Student Paper Award will be presented for the best conference paper authored by a student. This paper may be co-authored, but a student who is enrolled in a graduate degree program at the time of the submission must be the FIRST author. Papers to be considered for this award should be clearly identified at the time of submission and the student's university and status should be noted in the submission.
· Papers may be considered for either the best student paper award or the dissertation award, but not both.
Call for Reviewers: Because the number of submissions to the GDO Division grows each year, the success of the division's program depends on you joining the ranks of other top-notch volunteer reviewers. The Academy now uses a centralized, online reviewing system which requires reviewers to sign up each year. Please sign up to review for the 2010 scholarly program at http://review.aomonline.org/ (click on the Sign Up Now button). GDO reviewers will be asked to review three paper or symposium submissions, which will be assigned based on their chosen areas of expertise. At the time of signing up, please indicate the keywords of your expertise – this will facilitate the optimal matching of submissions and reviewers. Papers will be sent out for review around January 17, 2010, and all reviews will be due by February 12, 2010.
Scholarly Program Updates: I will post updates on the GDO listserv as appropriate.
If you have any questions regarding the scholarly program, please feel free to contact me at 2010gdoprogchair@case.edu. I thank you in advance for your participation in the success of the GDO Division's 2010 conference program, and look forward to working with your paper and symposium submissions!
Your 2010 GDO Program Chair,
