Call for Papers

May 2024 issue call for papers: creativity in coaching

For our next issue, we are looking for papers that explore new ideas and reflections on creativity in coaching concepts, theory and practice. Our aim is to foster debate and critical analysis of coaching in contemporary organizations and society.

We welcome papers of the following types:

1. Theoretical and Conceptual Papers: These should include critical analysis and propose a new theoretical perspective on an existing topic and/or consider an alternative angle to an existing theoretical position. (6000-8000 words)

2. Review articles, including critical reviews of the literature, systematic reviews, narrative reviews and meta-analyses. (2000-3000 words)

3. Essay/long feature articles that explore a topical coaching issue, bringing in contemporary perspectives and critical thinking. (2000-3000 words) To submit a paper and for more information visit https://philosophyofcoaching.org/submit/

We see philosophy as an umbrella term that captures any and all methodical explorations of the knowledge, thoughts, beliefs and approaches in our discipline, including those that challenge and critique our understanding and practice of coaching.

Among the topics we are committed to exploring are:

  • Ethics
  • New technologies and artificial intelligence
  • New theoretical approaches
  • Professional boundaries
  • Interdisciplinary practices
  • Social impact and social change
  • Philosophical traditions as they relate to coaching

Authors are encouraged to send a proposal directly to the editors before formal submission to obtain informal feedback on the suitability of the proposed project. Please email ana@philosophyofcoaching.org or andrea@philosophyofcoaching.org
