Students interested in higher education, doctoral studies, or simply staying connected with the academic discipline of leadership studies often pose questions about the process of engaging and staying engaged in this type of work. Apart from publishing and teaching, presenting at and/or attending academic conferences is the greatest opportunity that many students pursue in order to learn more about their academic discipline in the context of current research, learning about current and seminal works in the field, and the invaluable opportunity to network with colleagues on a given topic of interest. I will highlight several academic conferences that are closely affiliated with the academic discipline of leadership studies. Our ORGL & doctoral students have presented papers at all of these conferences, some of which were impressively honored for exemplary research. Personally, I presented a number of papers with students at the International Leadership Association, Association of Leadership Educators, Society for Business Ethics, Business and Leadership Symposium, and the Alliance of Universities for Democracy. Lastly, please recognize that your faculty in the ORGL Program are connected with many of these organizations by serving on executive boards, editorial boards, and/or conference planning.
The follow question from students after receiving this information is: "Is there any funding to support graduate students in presenting papers at academic conferences?" The Graduate Student Association is a wonderful organization on campus that has partially funded/supported our graduate students in attending conferences. Naturally, they have a proposal protocol that you have to follow in request of funds.
The following are annual conferences closely associated with our shared leadership discipline. Please connect with their listserve and/or stay current with their website in order to keep up with their developments and Call for Papers (CfP).
