CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

2012 Annual Meeting - Fairmont Copley Plaza Hotel in Boston, MA - August 3-5

Submission Deadline: March 15, 2012

We accept four types of submissions: scholarly papers, panels proposals, workshop proposals, and emerging scholar proposals. If you have questions or suggestions regarding the program please contact the Program Chair, Ronald Duska, by e-mail to rduska@comcast.net. Please submit electronic copies of your paper or proposal, or worshop proposal at the following website: https://editorialexpress.com/sbe2012. Only electronic submissions submitted at this website will be considered.

1) Paper Submissions: Papers should be double-spaced and use 12-point Times New Roman (or similar) type, and should be no longer than 30 pages (double-spaced). The manuscript itself must be suitable for blind review (prepared without a title page or any author identifying information in the text or notes). Authors should prepare a separate title page listing full contact information for all authors. The manuscript body and title page should be submitted as two separate documents. The first page of the manuscript should include the title and an abstract (abstracts must not exceed 150 words). Cover pages must also include the three-letter code based on the categories listed below.

2) Panel Submissions: These are themematically organized sessions intended to advance theoretical understanding, analyze the implications of recent business activity or public policy developments, or provide pedgogical guidance. Submissions should be in the range of three to six pages and should identify the chair and all proposed participants by name, address, phone number, and email address. Panel proposals should include a title, a clear statement indicating the rationale for the panel, the format to be used, and the contribution of each panelist.

3) Workshop Submissions: Workshops are interactive sessions where the attendees are participants and typically focus on scholarly development or pedagogy, although other types of submissions are welcome. Proposals should include a title and a clear statement indicating the rationale for the workshop, why your research and/or expertise qualify you to give this workshop, and how you would run the workshop. There should be no more than three workshop leaders, and the names and affiliations of the leader(s) should be provided

4) Emerging Scholars Submissions: Ph.D. candidates may submit an abstract of between 750 and 1,000 words describing a research project in business ethics or related domains. Abstracts should include a short list of relevant citations and include a cover page with full contact information and affiliation.

Multiple submissions: Individuals submitting papers and panel or workshop proposals will be limited to one paper submission and inclusion on one panel or workshop submission. This will not prevent any presenter from also serving as a session moderator appointed by the Program Committee.

To facilitate matching submissions with reviewers, submissions should also include a three-letter code according to the following (list at least one number from Theoretical Perspectives, Application Contexts, and Methodologies (e.g., T-6; A-4; M-1)). Submissions will be considered that do not "fit" any of these categories.
