[xmca] FW: Call for Manuscripts - Democracy & Education

[Peter Smagorinsky <smago@uga.edu>]

>Democracy & Education is a longstanding education journal moving in a new
>direction. For the last two years, we have been on hiatus, working to
>refocus the journal on scholarly issues, engage a new corps of scholars
>in this conversation, and rework our format to accommodate the deeply
>engaged dialog we believe is critical to any democracy and to all forms
>of education.
>
>
>
>Our first issue in the new format is available now, and we invite you to
>explore at: http://democracyeducationjournal.org/home.
>
>
>
>-Our Focus-
>
>The mission of Democracy & Education is to provoke rigorous, open, and
>inclusive engagement with the challenges of educating youth in the
>
>pre-K-12 age span for active participation in a democratic society. The
>journal seeks to support and sustain conversations that take as their
>focus the conceptual foundations, social policies, institutional
>structures, and teaching/learning practices associated with democratic
>education.
>
>
>
>-The Value of Ideas-
>
>Because we value the open exchange of ideas, Democracy & Education is a
>fully open access journal: Our content is available free to everyone. We
>hope you will explore our first open-access issue online.
>
>
>
>-Engagement at Our Core-
>
>Each issue contains five to six "conversations," each of which include a
>Feature Article and Responses. Feature articles present issues and
>arguments related to democratic education; responses extend the
>conversation about the feature article's core concerns, and can consist
>of critiques, elaborations, examples, alternate perspectives, or other
>forms of engagement. We see this kind of sustained, public engagement as
>crucial to knowledge formation and dialogue in a democracy.
>
>
>
>-Inaugural Issue-
>
>We are pleased to present work by leading scholars including: Nel
>Noddings on schooling for democracy (responses from Diane Reay and Ron
>Glass/Kysa Nygreen), Carrie Nolan and Sarah Stitzlein on defining hope
>(response by Kathy Hytten), and Jason Irizarry with an ethnographic study
>of Latino youth engaged in participatory action research (response by
>Anjale Welton), among many others.
>
>
>
>-Submit an Article-
>
>We welcome conventional scholarly essays (8,000 words) as well as
>responses in essay (4,000 words) or alternate forms, such as edited
>videos or artwork. All submissions are peer reviewed. You can submit
>articles at: http://democracyeducationjournal.org/home.

>Kind regards,
