Research in this volume investigates how larger structural inequalities in sending and receiving nations, immigrant entry policies, group characteristics, and micro level processes, such as discrimination and access to ethnic networks, shapes labor market outcomes, workplace experiences, and patterns of integration among immigrants and their descendants.

Introducing the Journal of Professions and Organizations
Last year marked the launch of a new journal called “Journal of Professions and Organizations” which is published by Oxford University Press. It is part of their Law & Social Sciences journal collection.

This journal could be a suitable outlet for the OOW members. Our broad objective is to leverage the network of international scholars in sociology, management, psychology, geography as well as economics and business history in order to advance research in the broader field of expert or knowledge-based work. This broad perspective enables us to bring together scholars from very diverse disciplines to engage in broad debates and foster a multidisciplinary research agenda. This makes JPO unique and puts it at the forefront of the development towards more integrative and multidisciplinary research in this field.
