This PDW is being facilitated by the editors of the Special Issue of the Journal of Management Education devoted to the topic of ‘Management Education in Africa’. The aim of the PDW is to support participants in developing and writing submissions for the Special Issue that engage, explore, and problematise issues related to management education in Africa. During the session, participants will receive targeted guidance, feedback and mentoring from the editors on project ideas and potential submissions for the Special Issue. Submissions can include: (1) research articles reporting quantitative and/or qualitative empirical studies conducted in the African educational context; (2) theoretical and conceptual articles that build new theories or critique existing ones about contemporary issues in African management education; (3) essays including first-person narrative accounts about lived experiences of teaching and learning in Africa; (4) instructional innovations that describe and evaluate teaching and learning approaches that have proven to be effective in the context of African educational systems and business schools; and (5) articles that describe, analyse and evaluate teaching or curricular change initiatives in African business schools. This session is also designed to help participants create collaboration opportunities among scholars from Africa, the diaspora and Western nations.
