EUROPEAN EDUCATION: ISSUES AND STUDIES
(EDITORS: Iveta Silova & Alexander W. Wiseman, Lehigh University)
LOOKING BACK, LOOKING FORWARD:
Continuity and Change in Scholarship on European Education
INAUGURAL ISSUE
The inaugural issue, Looking Back, Looking Forward: Continuity and Change in Scholarship on European Education, will explore the changing contours of European education over the past century and probable directions for the next. In addition to contributions on current debates such as the impact of globalization on education, this inaugural issue will feature articles on broad trends that may shape the future scholarship on education in Europe both theoretically and methodologically. We are especially interested in insightful explorations of broad trends in the past and projections into the future. How has the scholarship and thinking on European education changed since the end of the Cold War? How have theoretical paradigms evolved in a new Europe? What are some of the emerging scholarly debates?
This double issue will investigate the changing face of education in Europe from comparative and international perspectives. We invite article submissions that address a wide variety of topics related to the changing scholarship on education in Europe, including culturally contextualized meanings of European education, European governance of school systems across nations of the Council of Europe, the relationships between globalization and the European dimension of education, current policy trends, European citizenship/identity, migration, philanthropy in education, and others. The intent is to have a combination of state-of-the-field reviews, theory-driven syntheses of current and emerging scholarship, and critical discussions of major policy topics around the inaugural issue’s theme. We expect that this inaugural issue will serve as a “launching pad” for further investigation of key issues related to education in Europe in future regular and specially themed issues of the journal. All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed.
Please submit article manuscripts to europeaneducation@gmail.com by July 1 2008. Manuscripts submitted for review must not have been published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. All submitted papers must 1) be written in English, 2) include an abstract (limited to 200 words), 3) not exceed 8,000 words in length (notes and references included). See the European Education web site (http://europeaneducation.org/submission.htm) for instructions in preparing manuscripts. The editors will read all submissions and send out for blind, external review those manuscripts developed sufficiently to warrant such review. Please address any questions you may have about this inaugural issue to the European Education editors at europeaneducation@gmail.com.
