[Scott G. McGINNIS]

Journal of Borderlands Education

Call for Manuscripts 




Journal of Borderlands Education (JBE) is announcing an 
inaugural peer-reviewed online journal dedicated to exploring 
the multiple aspects of borderlands education in and around 
the United States and abroad.

 

JBE publishes critical, integrative pieces of research and 
literature pertaining to education and the notions of borders 
and the borderland. Potential publications should include 
conceptualizations, interpretations, and syntheses of 
literature and scholarly work in the respective field. 
Likewise, JBE encourages the submission of research and 
creative works relevant to education from any discipline, 
such as psychology, sociology, history, philosophy, political 
science, economics, instructional technology, statistics, 
anthropology, and biology, provided that the review centers 
on educational and border/borderland issues. 

 

The following categories are represented in JBE:  Curriculum, 
Instruction, Policy Analysis, and Creative Works.

 

JBE welcomes a wide variety of submissions.  Submission might 
include field-based experiences or research, papers on the 
successful practices to promote school improvement in border 
communities, discussions of the application of research to 
practice, position papers, literature reviews, artistic works 
regarding the border, and book reviews.  Generally, 
submissions that are selected should be accessible to a wide 
audience (informal, practical, and readable format).


For detailed submission requirements please refer to the JBE 
web site:  http://education.nmsu.edu/jbe and click on the 
Guidelines link. To complete the submission process click on 
the Submissions link, fill out the information, and attach 
your document.



The JBE embraces broader interpretations of the notions 
regarding borders and borderlands in relation to education 
issues. As an example, research examining Hmong students’ 
experiences as they adapt to educational environments in the 
Midwest would be of interest the JBE community. The JBE has 
interest in exploring a broader notion of borders/borderlands 
than fixed geographical lines. In recognition of this notion 
of borders/borderlands, the JBE aspires to include multiple 
languages. Currently, the JBE has resources to accept 
submissions in Spanish and English.

 

Thank you for your kind attention.
