PAUSE for Pedagogy 2022 Call for Proposals: The Courage to Teach Followership

PAUSE for Pedagogy 2022 Call for Proposals: The Courage to Teach Followership
 

The last decade of leadership scholarship and practice has seen a burgeon of focus on the followers in the leadership system (i.e., leaders, followers, and context) including the emergence of a Followership Member Community within the ILA and a global Teaching Followers Courage network.  In response to this growing interest in our field and of our membership, the ILA invites leadership educators, professionals, scholars, students, and student and academic affairs practitioners to share successful, intentional, outcomes-based practices in leadership education, training, and development. Submissions that capture the instructor/facilitator’s reflections on and/or observations of the learners’ experiences or outcomes resulting from programmatic immersions as well as individual workshops, training, events, class meetings, assignments, or activities, are encouraged.

In the spirit of narrative research and inquiry, authors are invited to share learners/student experiences in leadership education, training, and/or development programming, beginning with experiences as expressed in the lived and told stories of individuals (Creswell & Poth, 2018). Articles must include a narrative account of the learner/student experience within the reported practice--providing an outline of intended outcomes as well as an emergent or underlying theoretical foundation--and illustrative examples. 

The 2022 series will focus on the design, facilitation, and assessment of experiential and engaging followership education in virtual spaces.  The theme “The Courage to Teach Followership” is aimed at capturing the experiences of leadership educators who have integrated and/or facilitated “followership education” in their courses or programs.  Stories may include examples of coursework, workshops, or innovative programs that have intentionally focused on the follower and/or followership in leadership education, training, and development spaces.  Learning activities or experiences from curricular and/or co-curricular contexts as well as non-academic and for-profit contexts that include creative partnerships among disciplinary programs or other organizations, innovative connections with community partners in designing and delivering leadership education, international and intercultural programs, as well as exploratory integrations of media, technology, and art are encouraged.

Topics of interest may include:

  • Integrating principles of followership into leadership education activities 
  • Narratives highlighting the perspective of students who have engaged in leadership education training/activities
  • Showcasing partnerships with community and/or employer partners who have contributed to leadership education activities
  • Adapting leadership development (experiential) activities across face-to-face and synchronous or asynchronous environments
  • Showcasing a learning object or module created to support leadership development
  • Integrating social and/or other interactive media to enhance leadership learning
  • Advocacy, access, and inclusion in all leadership learning spaces 

Please note that at least one author must be an ILA member to be published in the Interface newsletter.
