CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS - DUE FEBRUARY 15, 2025
Cases on Gender and Leadership: Paradigms, Perspectives, and Practice
Edited by Paige Haber-Curran, Professor, Department of Counseling, Leadership, Adult Education and School Psychology, Texas State University, USA
Cases on Gender and Leadership: Paradigms, Perspectives, and Practice (Edward Elgar Publishing) will be an edited book with teachable cases that address gender and leadership. The cases will challenge readers and students to consider gender and leadership in expansive ways that challenge and problematize traditional and restrictive notions of leadership and of gender.
Potential authors are encouraged to consider cases that take a critical and expansive approach to gender and/or leadership. This can be approached in several ways, including – but not limited to:
Case proposals are sought that span multiple sectors/industries, disciplines, and contexts related to leadership, such as organizational behavior and development, higher education and educational leadership, nonprofit/NGO leadership, entrepreneurship, peace leadership, adult education and human resource development, political science, business and management, youth development, and athletics. Further, the editor encourages submission of cases that encompass diverse cultural contexts and/or international perspectives.
Proposed cases should be real-world cases or those largely based on real-world situations that can be used as resources to teach concepts of gender and leadership. Cases can focus on the practice of leadership and/or on leadership training, education, or development.
Authors should have experience teaching in higher education. Co-authored teams consisting of authors from organizations/industry alongside authors who are faculty/instructors are also encouraged.
Chapter Proposals are due February 15, 2025 via email to Paige Haber-Curran ([email protected]) and should include the following:

Potential authors are encouraged to consider cases that take a critical and expansive approach to gender and/or leadership. This can be approached in several ways, including – but not limited to:
- leadership that expands beyond positional roles, including group initiatives, grassroots efforts, and activism;
- gender that challenges traditional binaries of gender (e.g., exclusively man and woman) and is inclusive of gender non-binary and trans* identities;
- gender norms and expectations, including men and masculinities;
- examination of the social construct of gender alongside other social identities (e.g., race, sexual orientation, social class, religion);
- consideration of larger organizational and societal forces that impact one’s experience based on their social identities (e.g., patriarchy, sexism, heterosexism, racism); and/or
- intersectional and/or feminist frameworks.

Cases on Gender and Leadership: Paradigms, Perspectives, and Practice will be published by Edward Elgar Publishing as part of the Elgar Leadership Cases series, which bridges the gap between theory and real-world leadership practice. Interdisciplinary in scope, the series spans a wide range of topics, from traditional leadership theories to applications of leadership across business, political, historical and social contexts. Cases of varying lengths are included to meet instructor and student needs in different teaching scenarios. The cases serve as a springboard for classroom discussion, while learning objectives and summary questions inspire deeper thinking. Incorporating examples of leadership failure as well as success, books in this series provide a rich and practical resource for course instructors and students alike.
