Dear Colleagues,
We would like to bring the following new book series opportunity to your attention. Please feel free to contact me should you or any of your colleagues may have a proposal in mind.
ROUTLEDGE INTERNATIONAL GRDO SERIES
Call for Book Proposals
The new book series entitled 'Gender, Race, and Diversity in Organizations (GRDO)' is aimed at publishing rigorous, innovative and multidisciplinary scholarship for exploration of new areas of development, and re-examination of the existing GRDO knowledge. While the scope of this series is to include the foundation subject domains of gender, race, diversity, and class, and their continued re-examination, the purpose of this series is also to address the emerging themes including inter alia: religion, age, disability and LGBTIQ, and their intersections at the local, regional, and global levels. The series is also committed to link GRDO themes with current identity politics and complex markers of belonging and/or labour movements such as new formations of feminist movements such as Islamic feminisms, nationalism(s), management issues related to refugees and migrants.
For this book series, we will be commissioning scholar/editors to contribute edited volumes, handbooks and monographs. Further details about the different book types or format that are acceptable within this series and proposal guidelines can be found here.
