Special Issue OBHDP Journal Opportunity

Allyship, Advocacy, and Social Justice to Support Marginalized Groups in the Workplace

While papers on all aspects of gender, diversity, and inclusion are encouraged, authors of high-quality work in progress papers on allyship, advocacy, and social justice to support marginalized groups in the workplace are especially encouraged to submit abstracts on original work in progress. A special issue of Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes is planned with a submission deadline on August 1, 2022. While presenting at the workshop is no guarantee that a paper will be considered for the special issue, the conference is a great time to get feedback from like-minded colleagues. For more information, please contact the Conference and Advisory Board Chair, Dr. Ellen Ernst Kossek, ekossek@purdue.edu.
