The ILR Review (http://journals.sagepub.com/home/ilr) invites submissions for a conference and subsequent special issue devoted to new theories in employment relations. Matthew Bidwell (University of Pennsylvania: mbidwell@wharton.upenn.edu), Alexander Colvin (Cornell University: ajc22@cornell.edu), and Virginia Doellgast (Cornell University: vld7@cornell.edu) will serve as editors of this special issue.
Scholars interested in participating in this conference and special issue should submit an extended abstract (4–5 pages) by January 31, 2018. Authors will be notified by February 28, 2018, if their paper has been accepted for presentation at the conference, which will be held in May 2018 at MIT in Boston, Massachusetts. A subset of authors will be asked to submit their papers to the ILR Review with the expectation that their papers will be published in a special issue if they pass the external review process. Papers that are deemed of good quality but not selected for the special issue may be considered for publication in a regular issue of the journal.
