Looking back, moving forward: Celebrating Management Learning’s 55 years of publication

In this editorial, we close the 55th anniversary issue of Management Learning. We outline our rationale for this anniversary issue and reflect on the substantial contributions made by the journal over the course of its history. We focus particularly on how the journal has fostered intellectual space to enrich extant critical and reflexive knowledge on management learning and education. This editorial not only celebrates all that has been collectively accomplished by the Management Learning community, but also stakes some reference points as to the promise and the opportunities Management Learning holds in the discipline of management and organization studies going forward.
