Roundtable

Leadership studies + RPGs

26 Jan 2023

What is the current state of research in the intersection of leadership studies and role-playing games?

Discussion topic

In this Interactive Roundtable, we will discuss the state of research in the intersection of leadership studies and role-playing games (RPGs). After sharing what individual participants see as significant trends and important questions, we’ll brainstorm opportunities for collaboration, and discuss ideas for submitting a proposal to the International Leadership Association annual conference.

Come prepared to talk about what you are reading, studying, and working on that sparks your interest in this area.

 

Series background

The Leadership studies + RPGs Roundtable series brings together leadership scholar-practitioners with a specific interest in role-play/gaming. Our purpose is to stimulate conversation about the frontier of leadership studies + RPGs, find directions for future work, and forge connections among pioneers in this emerging area of work. This session builds on the first Leadership studies + RPGs Roundtable and a highly engaging Roundtable at the 2022 ILA Conference.

The series is part of Creative Crisis Leadership’s Research Roundtables, a program that aims to bring together innovative thinkers to discuss boundary-spanning topics that contribute to a theoretical and phenomenological understanding of successful grassroots crisis response.

About participating

What to expect

The session will be divided into four parts: Introductions, Discussion, Review, and Wrap-up. A moderator will be on hand to deliver introductions, help keep the conversation moving, and lead the review. A notetaker will be taking notes, to which participants are welcome to contribute.

After the session, we will share a list of participants and their contact information, a transcript of the session, and the session recording. You should review the recording, and let us know if there are sections you feel should be redacted before public release. You will also be invited to help prepare the discussion summary. Finally, we will ask for your feedback on the roundtable so we can improve the experience for future participants.
