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.
