The International Journal of Public Leadership seeks papers for a 2026 special issue on gender and leadership in public and nonprofit sectors. Gender is a critical societal topic, influencing leadership representation and equity. Women and gender-diverse individuals are making historic strides, exemplified by the recent election of a transgender woman to the U.S. House of Representatives. This issue explores how gender norms shape leadership styles and how women & gender-diverse individuals experience leadership. We invite interdisciplinary submissions from fields like public administration, gender studies, and political science, using diverse research methods to examine gender dynamics in leadership.

Deadline: August 15, 2025
