Dear colleague,
I would like to invite you to participate in the upcoming Sixteenth
Annual International Conference of the Association on Employment
Practices and Principles (AEPP), to be held October 2-4, 2008 in
Chicago, IL, USA.
The theme of the meeting is Maintaining an Ethical and Socially
Responsible Workplace. We are seeking paper contributions (complete
papers, developmental papers, or proposals for panels, symposia,
roundtables, or workshops), as well as reviewers and discussants. We
would especially encourage new Ph.D.s and doctoral students to present
research results based on dissertations, seminar papers, and the like.
All accepted papers and, abstracts will be published in the Proceedings
(available in CD-ROM format only) and scheduled for presentation at the
annual meeting. Fuller versions of accepted papers will be invited to
submit for possible inclusion in a forthcoming edition of the Employment
Practices and Principles Journal (EPPJ). Best papers will be invited to
submit fuller versions for possible inclusion in the Employee
Responsibilities and Rights Journal (ERRJ).
Our track is “Eclectic Paradigms and Perspectives: Postmodernist,
Feminist, or Critical Perspectives and Insights, New Methodological
Approaches.” This is an ideal venue for your new, creative thinking, and
an opportunity to present and potentially publish unconventional work.
We are especially seeking submissions from the international research
community.
Contributions can be submitted in two ways: to the track chairs listed
here (Patricia Simpson,
psimpso@luc.edu or Suzy Fox,
sfox1@luc.edu, or
directly to one of the two program chairs (Helen LaVan,
hlavan@depaul.edu or Marsha Katz,
m-katz@govst.edu) . We are providing
an expedited review process for international presenters, so that they
can make adequate travel arrangements.
You can check the Website for additional information on this call for

University, which is in the central business district of Chicago. There

discuss publication opportunities. The conference hotel, which is
approximately three blocks from the Conference Center, will provide
excellent accommodations at reasonable rates.
