Are you working on research grounded in African experiences? We invite you to join our Academy of Management PDW titled "Research Grounded in African Experiences: Inclusive Editorial Practices" at the 2025 Annual Meeting – and receive constructive feedback on your work!
Part 1: Open to all – featuring insights and provocations from journal editors in the field
Journal editors will reflect on inclusive editorial practices that elevate diverse African perspectives and discuss reimagining the publication process beyond paper development workshops, including guidance on alternative dissemination for rejected manuscripts.
Part 2: Interactive roundtables – receive tailored feedback on your paper ideas in a supportive, small group setting.
An interactive session to help scholars develop Africa-based research for publication in mainstream journals. Attendees seeking personalized feedback need to submit a 2-page extended abstract of their paper below (in-text references but no bibliography) in any format that clearly communicates their ideas. 24 slots available; first come first served. Submission deadline: June 10.
