Proposals that acknowledge the increasing demographic diversity in the workforce and the globalization of careers are especially requested.

    ·         Author(s) names

    ·         Detailed outline of the chapter

    ·         List of potential references

    ·         Indication of how the chapter will contribute to the overall direction of the volume.

    Proposals are due by February 14, 2010, with the first draft of the chapter due by May 15, 2010.  Manuscripts will be subject to a double blind- peer review process as well as being editorially reviewed.

    Dear Careers Colleagues:

    This message is a quick reminder that the deadline for the fourth volume of the Research in Careers series is approaching quickly.  The deadline for PROPOSALS is October 1.  

    The fourth volume of the Research in Careers series focuses on challenge.  In this context, "challenge" is defined as engaging in activities that permit individuals to demonstrate responsibility, control, and autonomy while learning and growing, along with desiring stimulating work.  e expect the Careers Division membership to be the source of most of the proposals, because the series is closest to the Careers domain.  

    I am copying the Call for Proposals here, because I don't want to "lose" you because you had to click on an attachment!  I hope to see the proposals rolling in over the next few days!  --  Gayle
