Call for Papers
The Berkeley Review of Education (BRE) is a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary
journal that engages issues of educational diversity and equity from various
cognitive, developmental, sociohistorical, linguistic, and cultural
perspectives. Published online and edited by students from the Graduate
School of Education at the University of California, Berkeley, the BRE
encourages submissions on research and theory from senior and emerging
scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers.

The BRE accepts two types of manuscripts, research papers and theoretical
essays. Full-length research papers will present original empirical research
that can employ a broad range of methods used within educational research
and across the humanities, social sciences, and other professions when
scholars in those disciplines address educational issues and problems.
Theoretical essays, also full-length, will highlight new directions for
educational research or contextualize previous research in light of new
theoretical problems.

Critical Focus
Understanding issues of diversity and equity to be central, yet highly
contested, themes in educational research, the BRE seeks to foster critical
awareness and analysis of these issues in educational processes and
practices in and out of school settings. The BRE therefore invites original
submissions that highlight the role of language and literacy in the
sociocultural and political contexts of education; examine the interplay
among cognitive, social, and developmental processes in human knowledge and
experience; and limn the role of policy within schools and the broader
sociopolitical context. 

Interdisciplinary Scope
The BRE seeks to capitalize on the theoretical and empirical contributions
of scholars from diverse fields and disciplines. To that end, the BRE
encourages submissions that foster critical communication spanning a broad
range of disciplines including, but not limited to, anthropology, cultural
studies, disability studies, ethnic studies, family studies, gender and
sexuality studies, information studies, linguistics, psychology, sociology,
and women’s studies. The journal invites submissions that re-imagine what a
critical approach to education might look like from within and among the
traditional and alternative theoretical paradigms entailed in multiple
fields of inquiry.

Submission Guidelines
The BRE is published biannually in March and September. Manuscripts should
be submitted online through the “submit article” link on the BRE website,
http://repositories.cdlib.org/ucbgse/bre. Authors should consult the BRE
Submission Requirements on the website before submitting manuscripts.

All papers are subject to a double-blind peer review process, and authors
will be notified about their submissions in a timely manner. Authors retain
the copyright to the articles they publish in the journal. However, the BRE
does not publish material that has been previously published and does not
accept papers that have been simultaneously submitted elsewhere for
