Call for Papers

Two Call for Papers opportunities:

Life in Inclusive Classrooms:
Storytelling with Disability Studies in Education ››

Life in Inclusive Classrooms seeks to draw attention to the use of storytelling as a critical strategy for creating a new, expanded conversation about inclusive classrooms and school communities. We are seeking essays that explore how disability, inclusion, and exclusion feel to those who are inside “inclusive” classrooms.

Manuscripts Due: March 15, 2016

 

Queering Education: Pedagogy, Curriculum, Policy ››
