My Early Work: Appreciative Inquiry as a Diversity Intervention Strategy

Abstract: Abstract A little over three years ago, I was contacted by another academic from England regarding my work with Appreciative Inquiry as a diversity intervention strategy. This person also happened to be a journal editor and asked if I was interested in publishing the paper, which had been presented at a conference a few years prior. He viewed the paper as being ready for the peer-review publication process. I declined the offer, although I very much appreciated his offer. I did not feel that the paper accurately reflected where I now am in my understanding of what really constitutes a sound diversity intervention strategy. I have always been leery of academics who intentionally publish in stages, or are oblivious to where they are in their personal development for the sake of publishing, and as a result have worked to not fall into either trap.
