CFP: Women & Political Leadership Research Conference
Women & Political Leadership Research Conference
Women & Politics Institute, American University
******
Dates: April 7-8, 2006
Call for Papers
Deadline: November 4, 2005
Location: American University, Washington DC
Website: http://wandp.american.edu/
The Women & Politics Institute at American University is hosting its first annual Women and Political Leadership Research Conference Friday April 7 - Saturday April 8, 2006. The purpose of this conference is to begin to address the theoretical and empirical research gap on the relationship between gender and political leadership. While there have been many studies on women and leadership in general, and women in business and managerial leadership specifically, there has been less political science research focused on questions about women and political leadership. How does political leadership differ from other types of leadership and how is gender significant in our understanding and execution of political leadership? This conference will bring together academics to begin to more seriously address questions about women and political leadership. The scholarship will focus on six broad areas including (1) theories of women and political leadership; (2) the significance of racial differences between women leaders; (3) women and leadership of political interest groups; (4) women and leadership of political parties; (5) gender and legislative leadership: agenda setting, perspectives and style; and, (6) challenges to women and executive leadership. We are calling for paper proposals addressing issues in these six areas. Abstracts of 200-250 words should be emailed to wandp@american.edu by Friday November 4, 2005. Conference participants will be selected by Monday November 21, 2005. If you have any questions, please contact the Women & Politics's Associate Director, Sarah E. Brewer, Ph.D. at sbrewer@american.edu or 202-885-3103.
