Call for contributions to /encatcSCHOLAR

ENCATC has launched a call for contributions for its online publication /encatcSCHOLAR. /encatcSCHOLAR is intended to provide reference tools for education and lifelong learning on cultural management and cultural policies for academics, researchers, trainers and their students to exchange teaching methodologies and knowledge to use in the classroom. The issue #07 of /encatcSCHOLAR will be published in March 2017 with focus on the topic of ENCATCs 24th Annual Conference on Cultural Management Education in Risk Societies. Proposal deadline is 10th December 2016.

Ulrich Beck and others have already proposed in the eighties that in late modernity Western industrial societies are undergoing a process of transformation into risk societies. Traditional institutions are not able anymore to respond to the fundamental global changes of society, like climate change, the financial crisis and/or terrorist attacks. The issue #7 of /encatcSCHOLAR wants to explore what consequences risk society has for education in general and for cultural management education.

Contributions will be welcome for the following sections:

Profiles intends to be a teaching tool for professors, useful in the classroom for presentation of the worlds leading thinkers that have made important contributions to the development and professionalization of cultural management, as well as those who have influenced the establishment of public policies (their main conceptual approaches, major publications, biographical references, etc.).
Angles should collect articles on connections of culture to other disciplines, focusing on discussing the challenges and opportunities that could arise from these interconnections, as well as highlighting innovative components that enrich and strengthen practice.
Case Analysis are made up of case studies presented as a scholarly tool to illustrate situations where cultural managers are facing crossroads, and need to analyze a variety of circumstances to make a well informed decision.
Interviews tries to give a voice to leading people in Europe (managers, politicians, artists, ex commissioners, etc). At the end of the interview, the interviewee raises some questions to the readers to encourage discussion and to activate critical thinking on the topics that have been presented.
Teaching-experience provides an opportunity for teachers to share in first person, practical ideas to meet their educational goals and to improve the teaching practice.

Please note the process to propose a contribution for this issue of the /encatcSCHOLAR:

Send your proposal for contribution (max. 300 words) to scholars@encatc.org by the 10th December 2016.
Editors of the /encatcSCHOLAR will review the proposals and authors will be notified of the selection by late December 2016.
Full texts of the contributions (max. 2,000-3,000) are to be sent to scholars@encatc.org by the 25th January 2017.

Guidelines for authors:

The /encatcSCHOLAR is not strictly for academic institutions, so you are invited to use a language which makes it easy to share knowledge in the classroom.
The ENCATC kindly asks you to close your discussion by outlining some questions to spark the discussion in the classroom.
As it is an online publication, it is suggested for the text to have between 2,000 and 3,000 words.
