Bringing journal editors and academics together on DEI scholarship
May 16-17, 2025
Friday & Saturday
In Seattle at the University of Washington Foster School of Business
Junior scholars conducting research on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in marketing, information systems, operations management and related fields are invited to attend this two-day workshop. As part of the workshop, you will work in small writing groups and gain feedback from journal editors and your peers to accelerate your paper submission to a top journal. This workshop will be in person only, and participants are invited to attend all or part of the workshop activities as their schedule allows.
Workshop participants must register by February 28, 2025, to attend.

Examples of research that would be related to DEI include but are not limited to:
- Scholarship at the individual, team, group, organizational, and/or national level investigating one or more ways to conceptualize diversity (e.g., race, ethnicity, gender identity, sex, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, power differentials, disability status, neurodiversity).
- Research related to equity or the differential experience of salient outcomes within organizations and/or other societal structures based on group membership.
- Scholarship related to how individuals perceive feeling included, treated with respect, and/or belongingness within their teams, groups, organizations, and/or other societal structures.
The workshop is free to attend, although participants are responsible for their travel and accommodation. A limited number of funds are available to offset hotel expenses; participants may request this on the registration form.
