Call for Papers
2011 Annual Virtual Conference on Moral Leadership
Submission Deadline: October 15, 2011
Regent University's School of Global Leadership & Entrepreneurship, in conjunction with St. Augustine College in South Africa, the Methodist Theological University in South Korea and the Høyskolen for Ledelse og Teologi in Norway, will host the second Annual Virtual Conference on Moral Leadership, December 11-17, 2011.
The theme of the conference will focus on what have been historically called the "classical virtues" (humility, kindness, patience, diligence, charity, temperance and chastity) and their impact on leadership. These virtues answer the call to the "seven-deadly sins" (pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony and lust) that we engaged with last year at our first conference that focused on the vices in contemporary organizational leadership. We will continue this theme in the upcoming years with a focus in 2012 on the Moral Formation of Leaders, and in 2013, the Profiles of Moral Leaders.
The virtual conference features asynchronous, refereed scholarly submissions in various formats:
- Invited video presentations of scholarly papers on each virtue
- Online published proceedings of accepted paper submissions (scholar and student tracks)
- Online panel discussions by experts
This call for papers invites submissions for papers on one of the classical virtues and organizational leadership for two refereed tracks: one for scholarly, researched papers and another for student papers. The accepted papers will be featured online as part of the virtual conference presentations and proceedings.
The best scholarly papers will be considered for publication in the Journal of Biblical Perspectives in Leadership and the Journal of Virtues in Leadership. The best student papers will be considered for publication in the Inner Resources for Leaders magazine.
