Gifted Child Quarterly seeks papers that provide background on a topic not well understood or researched within our field that has implications for gifted education, individuals with gifts and talents, or the development of talent.
Many disciplines have research with implications for the development of exceptional talent that have gone largely unnoticed both within those disciplines and in gifted education. The purpose of this special issue is to explore topics that have been researched outside the field of gifted education that can further understanding of their contributions to the development of talent. Scholars in disciplines as wide-ranging as sociology, economics, psychology, neuroscience, biology, mathematics, law, and many others, are invited to consider how their area of research applies to individuals with gifts and talents and/or the development of those talents. Proposals submitted may include evidence of these connections or they may be hypothesized. Papers will be a review of literature related to the topic and may include original qualitative or quantitative research, where applicable. Topics with strong empirical support, including replication, will be given a priority.
Proposals are due by July 1, 2025. Learn more at the full call, here.
