Call for Papers
“Challenging the Racial State in the 21st Century:
Youth, Resistance, and New Possibilities for Democracy.”

Journal: Educational Foundations
Guest Editors: Julio Cammarota (The University of Arizona)
Shawn Ginwright (San Francisco State University)

The theme for a forthcoming special issue of Educational Foundations  
focuses on the institutional barriers to young people’s democratic  
participation and how they negotiate, challenge, and resist racial  
oppression. Youth, who grossly lack political and economic power, use  
school walkouts, marches, and other forms of civil disobedience to  
confront policies and transform institutions to better meet their  
needs. We are particularly interested in papers that provide a racial  
analysis of educational and community change among young people.  
Manuscripts may discuss how young people frame problems of  
educational injustice through a broader political analysis of power  
as well as how they operate within networks of intergenerational  
allies, collaborations with other youth groups, and partnerships with  
larger political organizations. This call will allow scholars and  
practitioners to describe how young people render their schools and  
communities more responsive to their need to be active citizens  
prepared to promote social justice and democracy.

Educational Foundations is a peer-reviewed quarterly journal with
an audience of K-16 educators, administrators, and researchers,
