LOS 710 - Foundations of Leadership Research

As the core required introductory methods course for the doctoral program, this seminar forms the basis for subsequent research courses and inquiry that are central to doctoral-level work. In the course, we discuss the generation of knowledge through systematic inquiry, including processes, questions, and strategies used to conduct meaningful research in leadership contexts and systems, including for and not-for-profit enterprises. We explore the intersection of theory and practice with an emphasis on the epistemological assumptions and design of thoughtful, ethical inquiry about leadership. We also emphasize sound academic writing principles and provide structured guidance in developing those skills.
