Call for papers: Education, Citizenship and Social Justice

Papers are invited for early issues of the new peer reviewed journal Education, Citizenship and Social Justice. Launched in 2006, the journal intends to provide a strategic forum for international and multi-disciplinary dialogue for all academic educators and educational policy-makers concerned with the meanings and form of citizenship and social justice as these are realised throughout the time spent in educational institutions.

Below is a list of articles to appear in the first issue, March 2006. Free online access to the journal is being provided through the end of this year.
