Volume 4, Issue 1, 2013
“As scholars of an applied and interdisciplinary field, education researchers regularly define and redefine educational practices and theories. In this dynamic area of scholarship, even novel or critical ideas quickly infiltrate the educational research canon.
Dominant frameworks, even those that are themselves challenges to prior conceptions or understandings, are continually criticized, adapted, and extended to incorporate new perspectives that potentially move policy, practice, and theory forward.” Read more...

The Berkeley Review of Education (BRE) encourages senior and emerging scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers to submit articles that address issues of educational diversity and equity from various intra/interdisciplinary perspectives. The editorial board especially welcomes submission of manuscripts that engage with one or more of our 2012-2013 Board Priorities:
• Pressing Issues. The BRE seeks to publish papers that address compelling issues impacting schools, educational systems, and other learning environments.
• Critical Scholarship. The BRE welcomes a broad range of “critical” scholarship, particularly work that analyzes, evaluates, and problematizes power and dominant structures, and helps us to imagine something new.
• Pushing Borders & Boundaries. The BRE seeks to promote scholarship that re-conceptualizes and transcends academic identities, labels, and categories. We encourage work from all disciplines, as well as interdisciplinary work that builds towards new understandings of educational processes and practices.
• Forging Communities. The BRE seeks to foster new and existing relationships within and beyond the academy. As an open-access journal, we aim to democratize knowledge and encourage work that originates from and speaks to a wide range of scholars, practitioners, activists, and educators.
Submission Guidelines
