[RSCT] Call for Papers: Intercultural Ed as Social Justice

[Paul C. Gorski]

Call for Manuscripts for a Special Issue of Intercultural Education 
with a Focus on Centering Social Justice in Intercultural Ed Practice

Intercultural Education, the journal of the International Association for Intercultural Education, requests manuscripts for an upcoming special issue focused on intercultural education as social justice. 

The deadline for manuscript submission is November 15, 2008. 

Intercultural Education is a global forum for the analysis of issues dealing with education in plural societies. It provides educational professionals with the knowledge and information that can assist them in contributing to the critical analysis and the implementation of intercultural education. Topics covered include: terminological issues, education and multicultural society, intercultural communication, human rights and anti-racist education, pluralism and diversity in a democratic frame work, pluralism in post-communist and in post-colonial countries, migration and indigenous issues, refugee issues, language policy issues, curriculum and classroom organization, and school development.

This particular issue will focus more specifically on engaging in intercultural education practice that purposefully transcends "heroes and holidays" or "celebrating diversity" approaches and that sets as its goal the establishment and maintenance of equitable and just learning environments for all students. We are looking for contributions that push the boundaries of intercultural and multicultural education, that draw on analyses of systemic inequities, that engage critical theories. We are interested, as well, in research articles that critically analyze dominant intercultural education discourses, policies, and practices--especially those that may contribute to inequities rather than eliminating them.

Possible topics include (but are not limited to):

� Colonizing practice and policy 
� Analyses of supposedly intercultural or multicultural education practice or policy that actually reifies existing social orders
� The corporatization and militarization of public schools
� Critical analyses of popular existing programs and approaches to intercultural or multicultural education
� Intersectionality of social justice issue, and particularly intersections of class and poverty with race, ethnicity, gender, (dis)ability, and other identities
� Globalization and educational marginalization

All submissions should address explicitly the importance of social justice in relation to intercultural education.

We intend to include articles from an international cross-section of authors from a diversity of fields and areas of focus within the intercultural education and social justice milieu. 

You are welcome to send an expression of intent to submit, which should include a 50-or-fewer-word description of your proposed topic and focus.

These as well as full manuscripts should be submitted to Paul C. Gorski via email: gorski at edchange.org. 

Manuscripts must follow the journal guidelines, which can be found here:

Manuscripts must be submitted by November 15, 2008.
