About the Journal

The Journal of Contemporary Issues in Education (JCIE) is an open access, peer reviewed journal that is currently published twice a year. We usually publish a regular issue in the summer and a special issue in the winter. The JCIE is committed to publishing original articles by eminent and emerging scholars that take a critical and interdisciplinary approach on a variety of issues in education from diverse contexts. The journal is open to both field-based research and conceptual and theoretical works; it especially welcomes critical scholarship that aims to contest conventional assumptions about educational and social development contexts and relationships. As such, JCIE accepts for review, previously unpublished articles that include but are not limited to global education, foundations of education (including sociological, philosophical, historical and cultural studies in education), citizenship and human rights education, social justice and related issues in education, specialized curriculum studies topics, policy studies in education and politics of education. As the journal has a social justice lens, we prioritize qualitative research.

We welcome suggestions for special issues and book reviews.

We ask authors to consider the timing of their submission to the JCIE. As the journal only publishes one regular issue per year (the summer issue), we recommend to submit manuscripts between August and March. Articles received between March and August will still be reviewed but may not be published until the following year.
