CALL FOR PAPERS
The Leadership Quarterly Special Issue:
Leadership: Views from the Humanities

The Leadership Quarterly will publish a special issue called Leadership: 
Views from the Humanities. Nearly all leadership scholars today agree 
that Leadership Studies is and ought to be an interdisciplinary field. 
Yet, most research on leadership is still done by scholars in the social 
sciences. There is a growing body of work from scholars in the 
humanities, but it is rarely integrated into the social science research 
and vice versa.

The humanities offer a wealth of insights about leaders and leadership 
that have yet to be tapped and incorporated into mainstream leadership 
research. Subjects such as history, philosophy, religion, art, and 
literature offer a context for understanding empirical research. 
Together, these areas of inquiry constitute a record of the human 
condition. The humanities help us understand people, institutions, 
organizations, and societies in terms of ethics, values, imagination, 
passion, and responses to their culture and environment. They provide a 
panorama of leader-follower relationships and behaviors over time. 
Without the humanities, our understanding of leadership is incomplete. 
The goal of this issue is to bring new topics and methods of research 
into the leadership literature. Our hope is that by doing so we can 
broaden the depth and breadth of the field.

The editors of this special issue seek papers on leaders an leadership 
from scholars in history, philosophy, literature, classics, religion, 
and the arts. Papers may be on any topic related to leadership as long 
as they specifically address how the paper contributes to our 
understanding of leaders and/or leadership. We encourage but do not 
require submissions to incorporate material from the leadership 
literature. Interdisciplinary research that spans the humanities and 
other fields is especially welcome. All submissions must not only 
address leadership, but they should also meet the scholarly standards of 
the top journals in their respective fields.

This special issue is scheduled for publication in the summer of 2008. 
Manuscripts should not exceed 45 pages, including endnotes. Please note 
that papers should be prepared according to MLA style and as Word 
documents.

Due date: Initial submissions due by September 15, 2007. Please send all 
manuscripts to: jciulla at richmond.edu
