ENGENDERING LEADERSHIP THROUGH RESEARCH AND PRACTICE 21-24 JULY 2008 UNIVERSITY OF WESTERN AUSTRALIA, PERTH LEADERSHIP IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE STREAM CONTACT: ANNE WORRALL, KEELE UNIVERSITY ([log in to unmask]) CALL FOR PAPERS: NEW SUBMISSION DATE FRIDAY 15 FEBRUARY 2008 Due to the holiday season in many countries and the wind-up of the academic year, many researchers and practitioners have requested an extended deadline for their abstracts and proposals. The conference organisers, in conjunction with stream leaders, have therefore extended the submission date to FRIDAY 15 FEBRUARY 2008. This new date should not deter anyone from submitting their proposal as early as possible. From a conference organising perspective, early submission is a great help in scheduling the three day event. Importantly, for those people who need early confirmation of an abstract's acceptance, reviewing will be done in a timely fashion. Thankyou to everyone who submitted abstracts within the initial timeframe. More information about conference papers and abstracts can be found at: http://www.biz.uwa.edu.au/home/events/conferences_and_lecture_series? p=133778 STILL THINKING ABOUT THE CONFERENCE? Participants and supporters are responding widely to the Engendering Leadership Conference, promising topical and ground-breaking discussions. In addition, several people have expressed a desire to submit an abstract but wondered if their paper would fit since they are not a known 'leadership' scholar. Such queries go to the heart of what this conference is about. We hope that all our keynotes and presenters will feel free to take a broad view of leadership and its study. As with previous GWO Conferences, we expect to see presenters who come at the question from a broad church of disciplines, canons of literature and workplace research and practice. Questions we would like to see addressed include but are not limited to:Is gender a useful category of analysis? Is leadership? Are women (and/or men) better off without highlighting either gender or leadership? What makes leadership a masculinised concept and gender a feminised one? Do women reject the idea of themselves as leaders? Are leadership concepts, studies and/or practices too narrow or rigid to accommodate a useful gender analysis? Which gender issues are excluded from leadership studies? In what cases is leadership unnoticed or unrewarded? We encourage scholars and practitioners with an interest in these or similar questions to seriously consider submitting an abstract or idea for a presentation or panel.
