Conference Introduction

The SMU Cox School of Business is pleased to host a research conference on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). DEI has become a central concern for society, organizations, regulators, and policymakers. The conference is a prelude to a special section of Marketing Science on DEI that has a tentative publication date of June 2024.The goal of the conference and special section of Marketing Science is to encourage marketing science research on various topics related to DEI and to convene and curate a set of high-quality papers that showcase the multi-faceted relevance of marketing science to this important topic. All perspectives and cross-disciplinary research is welcome at the conference.

We invite authors who wish to present at the conference to submit conference papers by January 15, 2023. Papers must be submitted separately for the Marketing Science publication and will go through the normal journal review process and have a different submission timetable.
