BERKELEY REVIEW of EDUCATION

Call for Papers 2008-2009

The Berkeley Review of Education (BRE) is a peer-reviewed
interdisciplinary journal that engages issues of educational diversity  
and
equity within cognitive, developmental, sociohistorical, linguistic, and
cultural contexts. Published online and edited by students from the
Graduate School of Education at the University of California, Berkeley,
the BRE encourages submissions on research and theory from senior and
emerging scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers.

The BRE accepts two types of manuscripts, research papers and  
theoretical
essays. Full-length research papers will present original empirical
research that can employ a broad range of methods used within  
educational
research and across the humanities, social sciences, and other  
professions
when scholars in those disciplines address educational issues and
problems. Theoretical essays, also full-length, will highlight new
directions for educational research or contextualize previous research  
in
light of new theoretical problems.

Critical Focus
Understanding issues of diversity and equity to be central, yet highly
contested, themes in educational research, the BRE seeks to foster
critical awareness and analysis of these issues in educational processes
and practices in and out of school settings. The BRE therefore invites
original submissions that highlight the role of language and literacy in
the sociocultural and political contexts of education; examine the
interplay among cognitive, social, and developmental processes in human
knowledge and experience; and limn the role of policy within schools and
the broader sociopolitical context.

Interdisciplinary Scope
The BRE seeks to capitalize on the theoretical and empirical  
contributions
of scholars from diverse fields and disciplines. To that end, the BRE
encourages submissions that foster critical communication spanning a  
broad
range of disciplines including, but not limited to, anthropology,  
cultural
studies, disability studies, ethnic studies, family studies, gender and
sexuality studies, information studies, linguistics, psychology,
sociology, and women’s studies. The journal invites submissions that
re-imagine what a critical approach to education might look like from
within and among the traditional and alternative theoretical paradigms
entailed in multiple fields of inquiry.

Submission Guidelines
The inaugural issue of the BRE is slated for publication September 2009.
The submission deadline for authors wishing to be considered is February
1, 2009. The BRE is otherwise published biannually in March and  
September.
Submission deadlines for these issues are September 30th and March 31st
respectively.

Manuscripts should be submitted online through the “submit article” link
on the BRE website, http://repositories.cdlib.org/ucbgse/bre. Authors
should consult the BRE Submission Requirements on the website before
submitting manuscripts. Queries may be addressed to the editors at
bre_editor at berkeley.edu.

All papers are subject to a double-blind peer-review process, and  
authors
will be notified about their submissions in a timely manner. Authors
retain the copyright to the articles they publish in the journal.  
However,
the BRE does not publish material that has been previously published and
does not accept papers that have been simultaneously submitted elsewhere
for publication (see BRE Policies).
