SUBMISSIONS
This conference is for academics and practitioners who are interested in developing the leadership capacity to succeed within a dynamic environment. Our purpose is to create a meaningful dialogue between academics and practitioners by creating space for debate in the following three formats. However, participation in the conference is also possible without a submission.
- Leadership Learning and Development (LLD) Research and Theory: Submissions to this stream should make contributions towards research and/or theory in leadership learning, development and education. In this stream, we would like to particularly encourage early career researchers and PhD students to submit their work.
- LLD Practical Workshops: Submissions to this stream should be practically orientated and should be small workshops that explore innovative and creative techniques and tools used in leadership learning, development and education. Space and resources will be provided for explorations, so requirements, such as room size and time, should be made clear in the abstract/summary submitted.
- LLD Case Studies: This submission stream is dedicated to those wishing to describe and explore examples of innovative and creative leadership learning, development and education.
Submissions to the conference should be in the form of a 750-word (excluding references) abstract and should be forwarded to the conference organisers from 1 January to 31 March 2024 at [email protected] . The conference committee will consider abstracts after the deadline, and decisions are communicated within two weeks.
