Leadership Studies continues to be an expanding area of inquiry and the Leadership Scholarship Track provides a dynamic forum for scholars from across sectors, disciplines, and career paths. The Track encourages the submission of high-quality scholarly proposals on leadership from every discipline and school of thought. Empirical and/or theoretical scholarship from any methodological approach is welcomed. We would be pleased to be the secondary Track to submissions primarily falling in another presentation track when the proposal focuses on research or scholarship.
Authors are also encouraged to submit papers and presentations that raise any other issues with regard to leadership scholarship and research. In addition we welcome symposia that link together a number of papers across a leadership theme. Please note that submission of a single paper may have a lower chance of acceptance if it cannot be grouped with another accepted paper or, if a grouping doesn’t exist, it may need to be presented as another format, such as a poster. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you pre-organize and develop a full symposium.

- Mixed methods
- Qualitative research
- Quantitative research
- Advances and dilemmas in leadership theory
