Journal Submission Guidelines Diversity Praxis invites submittal of articles for publication relating to the three core topic areas of the Constitutional Project: Work-World, Work-Place, and Work-Force. Consistent with the objective of the journal, articles integrating emerging theory with pragmatic aspects of dealing with issues within organizations today are of most interest. We suggest discretion in the use of footnotes, but encourage their use to clarify terms or concepts not broadly familiar within organizations. Articles of approximately 1500 to 2000 words are preferred. We will also consider comprehensive reviews of books of interest on diversity or organizational vitality issues (particularly those in our library). Please submit article with abstract and brief personal background as a Word document (.rtf preferred) to editors@globaldiversityinstitute.org
