The DPLS Blog at Gonzaga University

Hi All,

I want to call out to you again, because of this very unique opportunity to be published.

The deadline is March 17. The journal editors are calling for papers to be submitted right now, and I believe you would likely have an excellence chance to land one of your articles in the journal.

Our very own Drs. Adrian Popa and Lazi Topuzova here at Gonzaga U. edit a journal called AUDEM aimed at leadership and democracy around the world.

It is a very strong journal, peer reviewed, and would serve very well on your curriculum vitae if you are planning on teaching at the university level.

If it comes down to you and a couple of other candidates for a teaching position somewhere and you have a publication like this and they do not, the publication really lifts your possibilities and may secure you the position.

So have at it!  Any of your major papers may be a decent fit after you have taken a pass at the paper to build it toward this journal and what they are asking for.

Also feel free to contact Adrian or Lazi with any questions.

Thanks!

Shann

2013 AUDEM Call for Papers, Volume IV

Call for Papers
The mission of the Alliance of Universities for Democracy is to promote the development of democratic values, civil society, civic engagement, and intercultural understanding through international exchange among institutions of higher education.

The AUDEM Journal is a scholarly, peer‐reviewed journal that focuses on the initiatives and themes related to the organization’s mission. We invite contributions from international scholars from different disciplines working on issues of higher education and the development of democratic values. We encourage submissions of articles grounded in objectivist, interpretive, critical, or other epistemologies. We are committed to diversity of perspectives and encourage submission of articles representing (1) traditional quantitative or qualitative empirical articles, (2) integrative research reviews, (3) theoretical pieces contributing to new theory, and (4) well‐constructed, well‐argued conceptual papers that are thought provoking.

For its fourth volume, AUDEM: The International Journal of Higher Education and
Democracy is focusing on the following broad theme:
Changing Conceptions of the Modern University

We invite contributions on issues related to the challenges universities are facing today as well as on the conceptual and theoretical dimensions of civic engagement. Examples of pertinent questions include: What strategies are universities using for responding to changing national/ global/ international demands and effectively dealing with the proper mission of a university?; what are the defining issues of citizenship in the 21st century?; what are new frameworks for thinking about citizenship in this global era?; how is citizenship or the university mission being expressed in both virtual and face‐to‐face settings?; how do we approach democracy in a more global economic setting; what is the university’s role in civic engagement, service‐learning, and so on; what are challenges for scholars at risk serving in undeveloped democracies; and other viable topics on higher education. AUDEM: The International Journal of Higher Education and Democracy may also consider contributions that focus on other topics or initiatives closely related to higher education and democracy.

Leading with Spirit, Presence, and Authenticity
A Volume in the ILA Building Leadership Bridges (BLB) Series

Call for Submissions (Deadline July 1, 2013)
View the Complete Call: http://www.ila-net.org/BLB

Kathryn Goldman Schuyler, Editor.  Dr. Goldman Schuyler is an associate professor of organizational psychology in the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University.

The International Leadership Association invites you to submit your work on the theme, Leading with Spirit, Presence, and Authenticity, for our annual volume in the Building Leadership Bridges series. The book captures the best contemporary thinking about leadership from a diverse range of scholars, practitioners, and educators working in the field of leadership studies. In keeping with the mission of the ILA, the book series connects ways of researching, imagining, and experiencing leadership across cultures, over time, and around the world. The book will be published by Jossey-Bass/Wiley with an expected publication date of April 2014. Note: The 2013 volume in this series is now available for preorder on Amazon.

Background/Rationale
The importance of the way that leaders bring their values to life and “walk their talk” has received increasing attention in research, the popular press, and programs of leadership development. As noted consultant and scholar Peter Senge has said, “There is an old tradition that you see in many parts of the world that if you’re going to be in a position of authority, you should be a cultivator. Leaders should be people who are deeply involved in their own realization of becoming a human being.”

This volume explores the importance of cultivating oneself with regard to leadership and seeks to enable readers to appreciate the range of approaches that exist, how they are used, and their impacts. This includes the contribution of spirituality (in all of its varied forms and expressions), as well as the arts and other parts of life that contribute to people’s capacity to bring their whole self to their leadership in ways that help them withstand the pressures and challenges of leadership in today’s complex global environment.

Areas for Submission
The editor welcomes previously unpublished submissions that explore the theme Leading with Spirit, Presence, and Authenticity from diverse perspectives, disciplines, cultures and sectors. Submissions should strengthen ties between those who practice and who study leadership, and that foster effective leadership. Submissions will be considered in five areas.

• Spirituality and leadership across cultures
  Increasing attention has been given to the ways that people’s spiritual roots or adult development contribute to who they are as leaders and how they lead.  Such chapters will address the contributions of spirituality.  The editor welcomes submissions that focus either on a particular tradition or explore its impact across a number of traditions.
• Mindfulness, presence, and authenticity
  Senge and Scharmer’s work with presence is having a major impact on leadership development (Senge, Scharmer, Jaworski, & Flowers, 2004), as is training in mindfulness (Baron & Cayer, 2011; Carroll, 2007; Goldman Schuyler, 2012).  Research and theory-building in new positive forms of leadership such as Authentic Leadership have also had an impact (George, 2003, 2007). Such submissions may include essays or empirical studies about the way that being present, mindful, or authentic makes a difference in facing tough leadership challenges.
• Ethical dilemmas
  Ludwig and Longenecker’s (1993) description of the Bathsheba Syndrome cast leaders’ ethical missteps in a new light: the way that many felt entitled or privileged by their leadership position to be exempt from the ethical rules applied to everyone else in their society.  There is little research that explains how leaders handle the temptations and opportunities that come with elevated power, or how spiritual development or other personal practices help them regulate and manage their minds, emotions, intentions, and actions.  The editor seeks empirical studies addressing how leaders handle such ethical challenges.
• Leadership presence and gender
  Brain research has claimed that women’s brains are different, and many have alleged that women have a different style as leaders from men.  Do women respond differently to the ethical challenges of power?  Are they different in any demonstrable ways with regard to presence?  Given the increasing visibility of women in high levels of leadership, the editor would like to include empirical studies that explore how women leaders live with challenges involving presence, authenticity, and ethics, and that address the complex and subtle issues involved in whether such issues are different for women.  The editor also seeks research and writing from the field of mind science on these questions.
• Boundary crossing
  This topic invites consideration of the above issues from a variety of disciplines, including theatre, anthropology, the arts, psychology, narrative, and others. Contributors are invited to take a multi-perspective and/or interdisciplinary approach, which may include presenting research in artistic forms, as well as creative pieces that cast light on these questions.

The editor welcomes many types of submissions:

• Empirical studies of the impact of spirituality, mindfulness, presence, authenticity, or other such models on leaders.  We are interested in all kinds of research: quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods.
• Theory development, grounded in thorough reviews of previous relevant scholarship.
• Impact studies of leadership development programs in the various areas.
• Artistic works, including photographic essays, stories, and poems.
• Submissions that do not quite fit these categories should be discussed in advance with the editor.

Submission Guidelines
Submitted works must be previously unpublished and must adhere to the following specifications:

• Submissions should be no longer than 5,000 words, the word count not to include references, tables, or charts.
• Submitted works will be blind-reviewed, thus all identifying information should be on a separate cover sheet.
• Information on the cover sheet must include all of the following: suggested area of submission, title of submission, a maximum 100-word abstract, and names, affiliations, and contact information (including best phone, best email, and mailing address) for all contributors.
• APA style should be followed.
• Notes should be kept to a minimum but when used should come in the form of endnotes.
• Margins are to be 1″ on all four sides, left-aligned, NOT justified, and all pages numbered in the top right-hand corner with the narrative starting on page 1.
• Submissions should be in Times New Roman, font size 12, double spaced, and indented paragraphs for all submissions EXCEPT artistic works.

PLEASE NOTE: All submissions must meet these guidelines except artistic works. If guidelines are not met, submission may be excluded from consideration.

Send submissions electronically as a WORD DOCUMENT to ILA c/o Debra DeRuyver at dderuyver@ila-net.org by July 1, 2013.

We plan to make final decisions and send out notifications on or about September 1, 2013.

The Leadership Studies Student Research Symposium call for proposals deadline ends this Friday, March 1. We ask that applicants craft their proposals and submit to one of the following four strands or areas:

• Conceptualization of Research in Leadership Studies & Communication – Students who want to discuss a research design are encouraged to apply to this strand. The research is in its inception and one who submits to this strand has an emerging idea, conceptualization, or design to discuss. Perhaps guiding questions or working hypotheses might be explored or discussed.
• Research-in-Progress in Leadership Studies & Communication – Students interested in this strand have a working research project they wish to discuss with the audience. What are exciting methods used in your research? What are preliminary findings that seem intriguing or puzzling given one’s original research questions? What have been research challenges; how have you overcome those challenges?
• Completed Research in Leadership Studies & Communication – Share with the audience findings of your completed research. What was/were your original research question(s)? What were key findings or themes? What are the implications of your research? What suggestions do you have for others, post research?
• Fireside Chats – In this strand, we want students to propose discussion topics they would be willing to facilitate. In the proposal, one would suggest a topic and present a short introduction including a rationale for the topic and possible discussion/conversation questions. If a proposal is chosen in this strand, the student would introduce the topic to the audience with a few guiding questions, and then facilitate the conversation. Ideas for topics might include: facing and conquering writing challenges; choosing research topics; juggling many roles as a Gonzaga student; what is leadership, and so on.

The aim of this conference is to surface and explore emerging questions and/or completed research currently occupying leadership studies undergraduate, masters, and doctoral students at Gonzaga. The conference is intended to stimulate dialogue and critical reflection of the multiple perspectives of our students, our programs and the complexity of the field of leadership studies. The conference is also intended to highlight the theory and practice of leadership studies research methodologies currently alive in our programs.

Congratulations to GU doctoral community member, David McNamee!

(Also, to all of you in the learning community here, grads and current doc students, if I’ve missed posting something you’ve sent me recently, please send again, to my address ferch@gonzaga.edu. Your work inspires the whole community so please do send to me so I can post here.)

David McNamee, Interim Chair  and Director of the Center for Servant Leadership, is presenting “Servant Leadership: Changing Trends in Global Leadership” at Oregon Campus Compact’s Student Leadership Conference, February 23-24, in Eugene, Oregon.

The conference, A Changing World: Sifting Through the Clutter, provides students with tools and resources to become change makers on campuses and in communities. This two-day conference focuses on helping service-minded student leaders, activists, and visionaries ‘sift through the clutter’ of modern society, navigate new technology, a multicultural landscape, and an interconnected world in order to affect positive change in their local and global communities.

Campus Compact leads efforts to build and strengthen the civic purpose of higher education. When students are engaged in quality curricular and co-­curricular student service, service-learning, civic engagement, and community-­based research they complete college as active, engaged citizens with skills to enact change locally and globally.
