Research discussions shouldn’t have to rise from the ashes of recycled rhetoric and boring presentations prepared months in advance. Interactions about research should be exciting, organic, and engaging. If you’re interested in being a generator of innovative, cutting-edge research in management education or if you have questions related to research in management education that are not addressed through traditional conference or workshop forums, our 2013 Research in Management Learning and Education Unconference is for you.
During this unconference you will have the opportunity to:
- Share ideas about key research areas that you would like to pursue with others.
- Find answers to research questions or concerns that you have been unable to address in other forums.
- Learn from others about their experiences with research project design, development and publication processes.
- Consider issues that are emerging through recent management education research and publication.
- Meet and network in an intimate and informal setting with other faculty members interested in management education research.
- Interact with numerous board members as well as the editors of the Academy of Management Learning and Education and the Journal of Management Education.
In terms of scope, the domain for this unconference is management teaching, learning, education, and the contexts within which these occur.
Submission Details
The format for our unconference is simple. You think about management education research-related questions, ideas, and concerns that are important to you, you create a short summary of your thoughts, we read your submission with excitement, your submission is accepted (hopefully), you register for the unconference, and then on February 1, 2013... knowledge sharing and generation in its purest form takes place with you as a key contributor.
In terms of scope, the domain for this unconference is management teaching, learning, education, and the contexts within which these occur. As a result, your submissions should focus on issues related to the business of management education (whether that be in universities, consulting agencies, or other organizations) as well as the processes and outcomes of management education.
With respect to the specifics of the submission we’re asking you to create, it is not a traditional formal conference submission document. We’re calling it a “Questions, Ideas, and Concerns” (QIC) document. The QIC submission is your opportunity to share some of the reasons you’d like to attend the unconference with us.
Deadline for Submission: December 20, 2012
Submissions should be sent via email to leap@bond.edu.au as a word or pdf file. If you do not receive a confirmation of receipt, then we do not have your submission.

Acceptance notifications will be emailed to contributors on a rolling basis within ten days of receipt.
