Dear colleagues,
HOPE appears to be on many people's minds these days given that the tumultuous status quo of the world (politically, socially, ecologically and in economic terms) is perceived as unsatisfactory.
AMLE seeks to be at the forefront theoretically and practically at changing that status quo with a special section entitled:
LEARNING TO HOPE IN AND THROUGH MANAGEMENT LEARNING & EDUCATION
The full CfP can be found here.
A virtual PDW is planned for 1st of Dec 2025. The submission deadline for this virtual PDW is November 10.
The submission deadline for the special section itself is 27th of February 2026, and the special section is scheduled for December 2026 (the last issue associated with 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)
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 them. Please do not hesitate to get in touch.
Many thanks,
Katrin Muehlfeld
Associate Editor Academy of Management Learning & Education (On behalf of all involved editors)
