Open Calls: Funding, Research & Special Issues for Teaching Otherwise

A curated, weekly directory of pedagogy grants, journal special issues, edited book chapters, and conferences focused on creative, care-centred, and futures-oriented higher education.

Finding the right home for radical, creative, or care-informed pedagogical scholarship shouldn't mean sifting through endless academic databases or social media feeds.

This living directory gathers open calls for higher education educators, researchers, and business school scholars who are reimagining teaching and learning. Updated every Monday, it tracks seed funding opportunities, journal calls for papers (CFPs), edited book chapter invitations, and conference proposals with a special focus on creative pedagogies, arts-based methods, joy, care, inclusive design, and futures literacy.
