Submitting a proposal

Researchers (including students), policy makers, labour market and community actors, and other interested persons are invited to submit original paper and workshop proposals (in English or French) on one or more of the above themes or their interrelationships. Paper proposals can be theoretical, analytical, empirical or policy-oriented.

The Coordinating and Scientific Committees are interested in proposals featuring theoretical and conceptual contributions, original empirical analyses, and studies of policy design, implementation and effectiveness. We especially encourage contributions that open up the realm of institutional possibility, that integrate multi-level or interdisciplinary analysis, or that exhibit a strong normative basis for policy options and promoting desirable outcomes for workers, their organizations, their families, and their communities.

We strongly encourage proposals for workshops of linked papers (four papers or three papers and a discussant), symposiums (two or more linked workshops on a common theme) and workshop panels that involve both labour market actors and academic researchers (four or five participants).

All proposals will be subject to a competitive review by the Coordinating Committee. We will do our utmost to provide a timely response to your proposals after their submission so that you can secure financing to attend the conference. All participants must cover their registration fees (CDN$370 regular / CDN$200 students, taxes included), travel and other expenses.

The deadline for submission of proposals is now December 2nd, 2013.

Individual paper proposals should be a maximum of 2 pages, identify the authors and their institutional affiliation, and outline the nature of the study, the methodological approach, and the main lines of analysis to be developed. Workshop proposals should be 3-5 pages in length, identify all participants and their institutional affiliation, and include details on the contribution as a whole, as well as on each individual contribution (2-3 paragraphs for each).

All proposals should be sent by e-mail to Nicolas Roby (CRIMT Scientific Coordinator) at the following address: nicolas.roby@umontreal.ca. Authors should submit a first draft of the full version of their paper by May 1st, 2014. This will be made available at the time of the conference on a special conference website for participants. Some papers will be selected for submission to leading refereed journals for inclusion in special issues. One such initiative has been developed with Mondi Migranti. The Journal will issue a Special Call for papers, the best of which will be presented in a symposium at the conference. A selection of papers will then be submitted to external peer review for their eventual inclusion in a special issue of the journal.

The Interuniversity Research Centre on Globalization and Work (www.crimt.org) and its partners look forward to interesting and rich debates from academics and practitioners from all perspectives and from many countries, including emerging economies, in order to set the agenda for achieving a more inclusive and fulfilling citizenship at work.
