Dear Colleagues,
HOPE appears to be on many people's mind these days given that the tumultuous status quo (politically, economically, socially, ecologically) is perceived as unsatisfactory.
AMLE seeks to be at the forefront theoretically and practically at changing that status quo with the special section titled:
LEARNING TO HOPE IN AND THROUGH MANAGEMENT LEARNING & EDUCATION
The full CfP can be found
here:
The deadline is 27th of February 2026, and the special section is scheduled for December 2026 (the last issue associated Witt the current editorial team).
AMLE editors involved include:
· Katrin Muehlfeld, Trier University (Germany)
· Laura Colombo, University of Exeter (United Kingdom)
· Stuart Middleton, University of Queensland (Australia)
· Todd Bridgman, Victoria University of Wellington (New Zealand)
· Dirk Lindebaum, University of Bath (United Kingdom)
A virtual PDW is planned for the 1st of Dec 2025.
NOTE: This special section operates on an opportunity response mode - prospective authors need to be mindful that any invited revision is subject to strict turn-around times for the completion of revised papers. No extensions can be granted. All papers undergo rigorous double-blind peer-review.
Prospective authors are encouraged to consult the
new editorial on the topic "HOPE", as well as resource editorials on crafting a
contribution for AMLE.
Should you have any question, the editors are happy to answer these.
Appreciatively
Dirk Lindebaum
Editor-in-chief Academy of Management Learning & Education
(On behalf of all involved editors)
PS: Did you know that AMLE is not only theory but also service driven? That authors can:
1. Arrange a
video call with an editor prior to formal submission...
2. Consult this
video to learn more about how they can control the publication process...
3. Look
here to see where AMLE organises PDWs in the foreseeable future...
