The James MacGregor Burns Academy of Leadership is bringing four scholars-- from New York, Pennsylvania, Ireland, and India-- to the University of Maryland for varying amounts of time over the next year to do advanced work in the field of leadership studies.
The grants, to cover time in residence, will come from the academy's Center for the Advanced Study of Leadership. This is the second year the center, with help from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, has provided research grants.
The scholars and their grant projects are:
- Assessing the New Leadership Process: How Do We Start?, Paul Arsenault, School of Business & Public Affairs, West Chester University, Pennsylva-nia
- From Protagonist to Pragmatist: Political Leadership in Divided Societies, Cathy Gormley-Heenan, Initiative on Conflict Resolution & Ethnicity, University of Ulster and United Nations University, Londonderry, Northern Ireland
- Cold War Leadership in the Reagan and Bush Administrations, Meena Bose, Department of Political Science, Hofstra University, New York, and U.S. Military Academy, West Point
- Women and Politics: A Case Study of Women Legislators in Delhi, India, Vijay Pandit, Maitreyi College, University of Delhi, India.
This year's scholars were selected by a committee of three: Barbara Kellerman, director of the Center for the Advanced Study of Leadership; Larry Spears, CEO of the Greenleaf Center for Servant Leadership; and Douglas Hicks, professor of leadership studies at the University of Richmond.
"We've given these awards to researchers and reflective practitioners of demonstrated accomplishment so that they may engage in scholarly work of exceptional promise," says Kellerman. "We expect their work to be of both theoretical and practical value to other leadership scholars and to leaders in many fields."
