CALL FOR ABSTRACTS AND INVITATION FOR STREAM LEADERS
As a central theme in social science research in the field of work and organisation, the study of gender has achieved contemporary significance beyond the confines of early discussions of women at work. Launched in 1994, Gender, Work and Organization was the first journal to provide an arena dedicated to debate and analysis of gender relations, the organisation of gender and the gendering of organisations. The Gender, Work and Organization conference provides an international forum for debate and analysis of a variety of issues in relation to gender studies. The 2010 conference at Keele University attracted approximately 350 international scholars from over 30 nations.
Details on papers and streams
The Conference is organised primarily as a series of streams. Authors whose abstract is accepted and does not fit into one of the agreed streams will be able to present their work in an open stream. Expressions of interest for the role of stream convenors at the conference/ suggestions for stream topics are invited. Subject to full peer review, stream papers often make up a special issue of the journal and these are given priority in the publication queue. Stream convenors are responsible for:
- drafting a call for papers for their stream
- generating publicity for their call by using their own as well as the GWO network
- refereeing and then selecting the papers for inclusion within their stream
- co-ordinating the stream during the conference itself
- editing a special issue of the journal if such is agreed by the editors
Please email your stream proposal (as MS Word attachment) to: d.kerfoot@mngt.keele.ac.uk stating 'GWO 2012 Stream Proposal' in the subject line of the email. Stream proposals should be no more than 1,500 words in length and submitted by Friday 19th August 2011. Stream convenors will be notified of their acceptance as soon as possible and no later than 1st September 2011. Informal enquiries regarding streams, including guidance notes for stream leaders, or enquiries regarding the conference can be made to Deborah Kerfoot on d.kerfoot@mngt.keele.ac.uk
