Call for Manuscript Proposals for THEORY INTO PRACTICE
A message from Alecia Jackson (jacksonay@APPSTATE.EDU).
Dear Scholars:
I am drafting a proposal for a special edition of the journal THEORY INTO PRACTICE with the theme of "Rural Education and Small Schools: Identity, Place, and Community." The manuscripts in this themed issue will explore how places with rural/small schools -- with a recent history of rather closed identities -- experience cultural hybridity in the wake of capitalism, globalization, changing demographics and economics, NCLB, violence, war, etc. The manuscripts will provide a range of perspectives on the theme and may focus broadly on the schooling of students in these schools but also may address socio-cultural issues in regards to the theme. The resulting compilation will reveal the multiple, competing discourses that vie for the identity of a place -- and therefore its institutions -- and that offer problems and possibilities for the future of the people within the educational system.
THEORY INTO PRACTICE is a peer-reviewed journal housed at The Ohio State University and published by Lawrence Erlbaum. To find out more about TIP, see the website:
TIP articles focus on concepts and ideas that are scholarly yet accessible to today's educators. Manuscripts may include research and case studies to support ideas, though an article should not focus on a single research study or case example. Manuscripts are generally 3,000-4,000 words in length. Articles should be original to TIP and not previously published.
If you are interested in submitting a manuscript for the proposed issue, please send the following, via email, to Dr. Alecia Jackson at Appalachian State University (jacksonay@appstate.edu):
