(NAME-MCE) 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 organisation,  
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.
