The Texas Leadership Forum has a rich heritage of connecting and empowering some of the most promising young minds in Texas public service. Each year we invite several accomplished civic, business, and political leaders to discus and share their experiences with forum participants. We also conduct several workshops and breakout group exercises that culminate in the annual Search for Solutions contest, which is held throughout the weekend. The Texas Leadership Forum is an excellent opportunity for college students and young professionals to hone personal and organizational leadership skills, and to brainstorm and network with colleagues about the opportunities and challenges of tomorrow. For those on the path of leadership, this is an event not to be missed.
The Texas Leadership Forum is a collaboration between the John Ben Shepperd Public Leadership Institute of UTPB and the JBS Leadership Foundation. We need people like you who understand the importance of creative, ethical, and forward-thinking leadership to assist us in promoting these values.
Administrative Theory & Praxis is a leading quarterly journal of critical, normative, and theoretical dialogue in public administration. As the journal of the Public Administration Theory Network, its purpose is to advance knowledge and stimulate new thought in public administration.
ATP seeks innovative, rigorous scholarship that critically examines emerging and enduring topics in public administration theory; explores the intersection of public administration and broader social, economic, cultural, political, and historical issues; introduces to the field new theories, frameworks, and literatures that illuminate matters of public administration; develops challenging, thought-provoking normative, ethical, and philosophical arguments about the field; or otherwise seeks to explore and possibly transcend the limits of existing public administration theory and practice. ATP is open to a wide-range of research methodologies and approaches that evidence these sensibilities. ATP is currently published by M.E. Sharpe with the generous support of the School of Public Affairs, Arizona State University.
We encourage communication with the editors about possible manuscripts, symposia, book reviews, or dialogue and commentary.
Today, virtually all adoption reviews begin with a sentence like: “The landscape of adoption has changed radically over the past several decades.” This is certainly true. Depending on the historical starting point, one finds both linear and curvilinear trends over time. As one approaches the present, however, what one finds are many divergent adoption realities.
Adoption Quarterly is an unparalleled forum for examining the issues of child care, of adoption as viewed from a lifespan perspective, and of the psychological and social meanings of the word “family.” This international, multidisciplinary journal features conceptual and empirical work, commentaries, and book reviews from the fields of the social sciences, humanities, biological sciences, law, and social policy.
In addition to examining ethical, biological, financial, social and psychological adoption issues, Adoption Quarterly addresses continuity in adoption issues that are important to both practitioners and researchers, such as:
*negotiation of birth and adoptive family contact
*identity formation in the context of adoption
*adoption as a premier paradigm for studying the interactions of nature, nurture, and the lifelong development of the adoptee
*adoptee adjustment (now viewed in a life-span perspective)
*adjustment issues for birth and adoptive parents
Adoption Quarterly also explores:
*the ideology of adoptive kinship
*adoption as an institution
*infertility solutions and reproductive technologies
*future trends for adoption . . . and much more!
The complexity of modern adoption issues is daunting and challenging, but also extraordinarily exciting. The place to follow this excitement is Adoption Quarterly!
Despite the importance of adoption in family formation and its considerable value as a paradigm for scientific study, there is no other academic or scholarly journal specializing in this field. By maintaining a consistently high standard of scholarship, Adoption Quarterly helps stimulate research in areas relevant to situations professionals commonly face and develop more practice-based and empirically sound principles.
Education 2009 is the third in a series of conferences with the general theme of “the future of education”.
Ethnopolitics is an authoritative peer-reviewed journal now published by Routledge. It establishes a forum for serious debate and exchange on one of the phenomena that had a decisive impact during the last decades of the 20th century and continues to be of great importance in the new millennium. The journal gives a voice to established as well as younger researchers and analysts from academic as well as practitioner backgrounds. We publish original work of the highest quality in the field of ethnopolitics with methodological approaches covering mainly the disciplines of political science and international relations and taking primarily a contemporary, current affairs perspective.
Aims & Scope
The purpose of Exceptionality is to provide a forum for presentation of current research and professional scholarship in special education. Areas of scholarship published in the journal include quantitative, qualitative, and single-subject research designs examining students and persons with exceptionalities, as well as reviews of the literature, discussion pieces, invited works, position papers, theoretical papers, policy analyses, and research syntheses. Appropriate data-based papers include basic, experimental, applied, naturalistic, ethnographic, and historical investigations. Papers that describe assessment, diagnosis, placement, teacher education, and service delivery practices will also be included. Manuscripts accepted for publication will represent a cross section of all areas of special education and exceptionality and will attempt to further the knowledge base and improve services to individuals with disabilities and gifted and talented behavior.
