    CALL FOR ABSTRACTS

    3rd Dismantling Bias in Organizations Conference- March 23-25, 2022 Krannert School of Management
    Purdue University
    West Lafayette, Indiana  USA

    Submission Deadline: November 1, 2021

    Overview

    We are pleased to invite submissions to the third Dismantling Bias in Organizations conference at Purdue University Krannert School of Management. The purpose of the "Dismantling Bias in Organizations" conference is to advance knowledge and understanding that bridges the theory, science, and practice of designing, implementing, and evaluating evidence-based policies, practices, cultures, and interventions that promote inclusion and career equality for women and minorities comprising  diverse social identity groups in the workplace and societal institutions. Our goal is to bring together a community of scholars across disciplines, and business leaders who share interests in advancing the understanding of diversity and inclusion to link science, policy, and practice perspectives.

    The theme of the third Dismantling Bias Conference is "What's Next in Diversity and Inclusion." The conference will include interactive plenary sessions: including leading diversity scholars and corporate leaders. There will also be small group  breakout sessions organized by paper track topics for scholars to discuss and get feedback on their research work in progress.; and   research for business leaders and policymakers to discuss  developments.

    SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

    If you are a  scholar researching diversity and inclusion issues who is interested in being considered to participate in the conference, please send an abstract (750 words) of a work in progress paper on any current diversity and inclusion topic by November 1, 2021, to the conference website. Submissions from all fields and disciplines are welcome. The abstract will be blind reviewed and should include your theoretical literature grounding, how your paper relates to the current diversity and inclusion literature, and, if empirical, some preliminary results and the implications of your study. If selected, you will be asked to submit a rough draft of the work in progress paper before the conference, and register and agree to attend. You will be assigned to meet in breakout sessions with scholars who share your interests during part of the conference to get feedback to improve your paper.

    Submission preparation:

    1. A cover letter with a) the title of the paper and b) authors' names, affiliations, and email addresses.
    2. Abstract of an original work-in-progress paper with the title of the paper. (750 words maximum- no names, please)

    Accepted abstracts will be published on the conference website through Purdue ePubs.

    Special OBHDP Issue Publishing Opportunity. 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 (OBHDP), Allyship, Advocacy and Social Justice to Support Equality for Marginalized Groups in the Workplace, is planned with a submission deadline on June 1, 2022. The call for papers can be found here.

    While attendance at the conference is not at all required to submit to the special issue and presenting at the conference is no guarantee that a paper will be considered for the issue, interested scholars who plan to submit to the OBHDP special issue and would like to get peer mentoring feedback on their paper drafts prior to the journal submission are encouraged to attend the conference. Accepted abstracts relevant to the special issue themes will have their own research tracks.
