How can I enhance the chances of getting my latest paper published in a peer-reviewed journal?  How should I respond to reviewers’ comments?  How can I be a better reviewer?   In this conversation, the Editor-in-Chief of the leading international nonprofit journal, Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly, gives an overview of the ‘inside’ of a journal’s decision-making, and provides tips for success in the peer-review process. In an interactive discussion Dr. Phillips will address your questions about success in journal publishing.  Graduate students and emerging scholars are particularly encouraged to attend.

Dr. Susan Phillips is Professor, School of Public Policy and Administration, Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada, and founder and director of its Master of Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership (MPNL) – Canada’s only graduate program in this field. She is also Editor-in-Chief of Nonprofit and Voluntary Sector Quarterly, the leading international journal focusing on nonprofits, philanthropy and civil society.

Susan’s research focuses on place-based philanthropy and public policy for nonprofits. She is co-editor of The Routledge Companion to Philanthropy, and is currently leading a study team exploring the question: ‘what makes some charities and not-for-profits more resilient than others?’ Her work in advancing research in nonprofit studies and public management has been recognized by distinguished service awards from the Canadian research associations in both of these fields.

Places are limited. Please RSVP to secure your spot.

A light lunch will be provided.
