Theme: How to Publish in top Business and Management journals
10:10 - 12:10 Presenter: Graeme Martin, University of Dundee School of Business
This seminar, led by an experienced editor of a leading management journal, aims to help participants understand what it takes to get published in top journals in business and management. It deals with issues such as what editors are looking for in good journal articles, what makes for good research questions, how to write well and avoid writing badly, how to deal with reviews and rejection, and what constitutes a contribution to theory and practice.
While the focus is in terms of business and management journals, much of the discussion is relevant to publishing in any business-related journals.

About The Ignorant Art School
Bringing together artists, activists, cultural workers designers, educators, students, writers, and various communities The Ignorant Art School questions what art education is and whom it serves. Enthused with revolutionary solidarity and organised as a collaborating collective The Ignorant Art School creatively re-imagine and co-constitutes radical blueprints for a socially transformative art education that opens towards an emancipated future.
The title of the project is inspired by French thinker Jacques Rancière’s seminal book The Ignorant Schoolmaster, in which Rancière recounts the story of Joseph Jacotot, an exiled French schoolteacher who in 1818 formulated a teaching method that dissolved hierarchies in conventional pedagogical practice.
Repurposing equality as a practice rather than an ideal, The Ignorant Art School examines the histories and future possibilities of art education. Directed towards a revolutionary and creative emancipation The Ignorant Art School celebrates feminist and social activist bell hooks’ declaration of “education as the practice of freedom” * by building communities of resistance and care.
Composed as five ‘Sit-ins’ The Ignorant Art School adopts the activist tactic of occupying institutional space as a critical and creative attitude and praxis to transform the Cooper Gallery into a laboratory for radical, ethical and accessible pedagogies for the many underscored by an economy of solidarity.
At the heart of The Ignorant Art School is a Sit-in Curriculum, a packed timetable of actions, workshops and gatherings facilitated by artists, designers, activists, and culture workers. Rejecting inequalities of access by deploying anti-colonial, anti-racist and feminist methodologies, the Sit-in Curriculum is a space of collaborative and revolutionised learning open to all.
