*Call for Manuscripts *

*Bilingual Research Journal (BRJ) Volume 39 Issue 3*

Theme Issue: “Research on Language Planning - 30 Years Plus”

Guest Edited by: María E. Fránquiz (maria.franquiz at utah.edu), Kathy
Escamilla (Kathy.Escamilla at colorado.edu), and Verónica Valdez (
veronica.valdez at utah.edu)

*THE CALL**:*

The *Bilingual Research Journal* *(BRJ)* is the premier peer reviewed
journal of the National Association of Bilingual Education (NABE). The
purpose of this themed issue is to explore research, theoretical
orientations and methodologies that extend Richard Ruiz’s important impact
in language planning and bilingual education. Guest editors are interested
in receiving abstracts from scholars whose scholarship is deeply impacted
by the contributions of this eminent scholar. In 1984 Professor Richard
Ruiz wrote a seminal article, *Orientations in Language Planning*, for
the *NABE
Journal *(now known as the *BRJ)*. This publication influenced scholarship
nationally and internationally. In the mid 90s, Dr. Ruiz was editor of the
*BRJ*. For the 2016 call the guest editors seek manuscripts that offer
theoretical analyses as well as research based arguments about language
planning in an increasingly diverse and globalized world. How can
educational research in language studies account for dynamic interactions,
practices, and engagements of children, youth, and/or adults in schools,
churches, and community organizations? How do language policies and
practices enable not only analysis, but also transformative change? We ask
that you consider these questions, among many others, as you theorize the
meanings, purposes, and values of the work of Richard Ruiz. In your
research abstract (see below), we ask that you are attentive to the ways
theoretically sophisticated work offers promise to PreK-16 curricular
planning, language policies in formal and informal contexts, teacher
education and teacher practice.
