CALL FOR PAPERS AND POSTERS
Papers
Papers can be on any topic likely to be of interest to BUIRA members and can be purely theoretical or based on empirical research. We would, however, like to encourage papers on the following themes:
A. Labour Markets and Migration
B. Trade Unions, Representation and Voice
C. Globalisations, MNCs and Decent Work
D. Governance Ownership and Accountability
E. Equality and Diversity in Work and
Employment
F. HRM, the Employment Relationship and
Labour Rights
G. Public Services
H. Other
Most papers are presented as workshop papers. Papers may, however, be considered for a plenary session (preferably related to one of the above themes). Please indicate on your abstract if you would like it to be considered for a plenary session. Papers are welcomed from current postgraduate students. The deadline for receipt of 750-1000 word abstracts is 7 March 2008. The abstract should indicate the substantive content of the paper, together with findings and conclusions. It should include statements relating to relevance, origins and methodology of the research. The status of the paper
should also be specified, in particular whether it has been submitted or accepted for publication or is to be delivered at another conference. For obvious reasons, we prefer papers not to have appeared in print before being presented at BUIRA. Please indicate the theme in which you wish to give your paper of classify it as ‘H’ (other). Please put your identification details on a page separate from the abstract.
Posters
Poster sessions at the BUIRA conference provide the opportunity for researchers, including PhD students, to present their findings in an informal setting. This enables research at different stages to be presented to delegates who will be able to provide feedback, offer advice, compare results and discuss future research. Posters should highlight the main findings or ideas involved in the research. Presenters may wish to have a brief paper available, although this is not required. If you wish to present a poster, please provide a 500 word abstract by 7 March 2008.
Note: papers and posters can only be considered from BUIRA members.
Abstracts and posters should be uploaded in the relevant section of the BUIRA website (www.buira.org.uk).
Abstracts are blind refereed by BUIRA Executive Committee Members. Decisions will be notified mid- to late April 2008. Conference proceedings will contain the paper abstracts and full plenary papers (7,500 words). Plenary papers will be required by 31 May 2008.
