Call for Papers



"Will the Past Define the Future?" 

The Thought & Action Review Panel invites submissions for a Special
Focus section in the 2007 Thought & Action. Deadline for submissions:
April 15, 2007 

 n 2007, the National Education Association will mark its 150th
anniversary. To commemorate this milestone, the Special Focus for the
2007 Thought & Action will be the history of higher edu

cation, with a special emphasis on the role of NEA. Since its founding
in 1857, NEA has been involved with the academy. One-fourth of the
founding members of the Association came from institutions of higher
learning, and for decades many of the most important voic-es in higher
education were also NEA members. NEA has also long been a defender of
aca-demic freedom, establishing a Committee on Academic Freedom in 1935.
When the Association first embraced collective bargaining in the
mid-1960s, higher education units in Michigan, Massachusetts, and New
York were among the first to organize and bargain. 

While Thought & Action intends to celebrate NEA's history with articles
on the Association's history and major milestones in the life of its
affiliates, our pages will be open to historical treatment of the entire
higher education enterprise, including the history of the idea of
American higher education itself, changes in approaches to teaching and
learning over time, the history of faculty governance, the origins of
the community college, the creation of the public university, the
changing status of Historically Black Colleges and Universities, the
decline of tenure and the rise of the contingent faculty, the evolution
of non-academic staff, the changing role of women in the academy,
academe's struggle for human and civil rights, among others. We're
especially interested in historical portraits of our students, as the
traditional student body has been transformed over the years. In short,
the Focus in the 2007 issue hopes to present a historical perspective on
the changing academy over the past 150 years. 

With the largest circulation of any refereed journal in higher
education, Thought & Action continues to welcome well-written,
compelling articles on all aspects of life in the academy, especially
issues of teaching and learning, innovative approaches to collective
bargaining, professional development, and teaching tips. Manuscripts are
welcome at any time during the year and will be blind reviewed by our
editorial board as they are received.
