Submission Deadline for volume 10, Issue 2: August 15th, 2023

The second issue of the Interdisciplinary Journal of Partnership Studies (IJPS) in 2023 will explore and celebrate the relationship between partnership and innovation.

For this 2023 IJPS issue we are looking for innovations that advance science, technology, and invention; innovations supporting individuals or organizations; social, business, government and or policy  innovations; and innovations that improve design, remove barriers, build inclusivity, and increase accessibility. Like Buckminster Fuller said, we are architects of our future and not its victims.”

As an innovation leader for a national nursing organization, our innovation focus is around the innovative work being led by nurses across the nursing profession, innovations across healthcare, and innovations supporting and advancing health. Health is a universal experience, and providing care as stated by Riane Eisler, “is one of the most basic of human drives, driving emotion, action, and advancements across humanity.” The American Nurse Association (ANA) Innovation Team is focused on advancing the science of innovation across nursing, movement building across the profession, and capturing the economic value of nurse led innovations. The nursing profession has a rich history of inventing solutions for patient needs by redefining and reimagining the future role of nurses and nursing – and it all starts with the work nurses lead today.

Innovation happens at scale – some are small iterative improvements around process or quality  improvements, while at the other end of the spectrum, innovations can transform the very behaviors of society. Our team utilizes the innovation definition from Lachman et al, “Innovation is the application of creativity or problem-solving that results in a widely adopted strategy, product, or service that meets a need in a new and different way” (2009). The open access platform utilized by IJPS parallels aspects of the ANA Innovation Ethos which includes seven core principles to guide and foster innovation: transparency, democracy, abundance, opportunities for growth, interprofessional and transdisciplinary collaboration, anti-racist and design justice principles, and improving the present while being future focused. The opportunities to design innovative solutions will increase as globalization continues to drive diverse intersections of people, cultures, ideas, information, and economies forward.

We look forward to learning about the incredible innovations you are leading and the positive change you are catalyzing! The submission deadline for the second issue is August 15, 2023, unless alternate arrangements with the Editors have been made.

Submission Deadline for volume 10, issue 1: March 15th, 2023

The 2023 issue 1 is an open issue where we will accept partnership and cultural transformation papers from a wide variety of fields. Papers are due March 15th unless arrangements have been made with the managing editor.

Partnership Studies analyzes social institutions and beliefs from the perspective of where they fall on the partnership/domination continuum, illuminating how they affect all aspects of life and every social institution, from the family, education, and religion to politics, economics, and mass media. Partnership Studies provides an integrative perspective for understanding and transforming beliefs and social institutions that takes into account the cultural construction of formative relations, which are still generally ignored or marginalized in the canon. It pays special attention to findings from neuroscience showing that our brains develop in interaction with our environments, especially in our early years, and that how a society constructs the roles and relations of males and females impacts not only women’s and men’s life choices but also the society’s values, beliefs, and institutions. Partnership Studies helps us “connect the dots” in new ways to reveal dynamics that are otherwise invisible.
