We are excited to welcome our new professor, Dr. Kem Gambrell, to Journal Club! Kem has graciously agreed to be our faculty sponsor this fall. We are looking forward to getting to know her and hearing her ideas and interests as we dialogue together!
What is Journal Club?
Journal Club is an informal, enjoyable, and intellectually stimulating time for anyone in the Gonzaga community to explore ideas and research that interests them. It’s a community of students, faculty, and staff who gather together to say, “This is what I’m reading, this is what I’m interested in, and this is what I’m thinking.”
When We Meet:
4:00 – 5:30 Friday afternoons before DPLS classes, Tilford, Room 115
DATES: Sept 12 & 19, Oct. 3, 10, & 24, Nov. 7 & 21, Dec. 5
What Are The Benefits?
Journal Club is an opportunity to get to know your fellow students and network with colleagues. It is an excellent platform for developing and improving teaching and presentation skills. It will also enhance your CV!
How Can I Participate?
It’s easy to be a part of Journal Club. You can either take 10 minutes to present a journal article, book chapter, or other scholarly work OR you can just show up and enjoy the dialogue! Either way, it’s a great time of networking and learning.
It’s Simple To Present!
- Email Faith Gilbert at fgilbert@zagmail.gonzaga.edu to let her know you would like to present.
- You will have up to 10 minutes to present.
- During your presentation, be sure to briefly address the following:
1. What is the purpose or main focus of the reading?
2. What are the broad applications of the work to leadership studies or your primary discipline?
3. Describe the intended audience, the article, and include the reference of your literature.
4. What is your response to the author?

- Email your presentation and a copy of your journal article or book chapter to Faith Gilbert fgilbert@zagmail.gonzaga.edu so that the article can be uploaded to the Google Archives Drive.
