I wish to receive autobiographical essays that explore the complex relationships between Black women throughout the diaspora and the women who shaped our leadership identities, competencies, practices, and philosophies. The purpose of this anthology is to explore the matrilineal transmission of leadership knowledge. Leadership is framed as any current sphere of influence (work, family, or community). The range of topics and approaches is broad. However the focus should be to explore the role that mothers or othermothers played in your leadership development. What themes characterize the gifts and talents of your mother/othermothers that you have learned to apply as a contemporary leader in family, community, work place or professional contexts? How were leadership traditions passed on to you from women in your family or community (proverbs, advice, lived experience, tacit expectations, etc.)? What tensions, dilemmas, or paradoxes did this transmission of leadership create for you? How is your current practice of leadership similar to or different from that of your mothers or othermothers? Essays should be lively and engaging. An interdisciplinary approach is welcome. Essays should explore the many differences among Black women in terms of our identities across differences of race/ethnicity, socio-economic class, sexual identity, region or country of upbringing, religious background, etc. Essays may vary widely in format, style and methodology (e.g. narratives and other forms of storytelling, poetry, ethnography, creative non-fiction). This anthology is designed to appeal to scholars in many disciplines such as the humanities, the social sciences, women's studies, American studies, ethnic studies, and organizational studies. This text is also designed to appeal to leaders in general. Essays should be 10 to 20 pages in length. Please submit completed paper and curriculum vita by October 1, 2001 to: Toni C. King, Associate Professor of Black Women's Studies at Denison University. Toni King has published extensively in the areas of relational psychology, organizational studies, and diversity studies with a particular emphasis on the experiences of Black professional women. Submit three copies to: Toni C. King, Center for Black Studies 104 Knapp Hall / Denison University Granville, Ohio 43023 (740) 587-6567 Early submissions are encouraged.
