Call for Special Issue: Inclusive Curriculum in the Era of Digital & Virtual Learning
The Journal of Curriculum Studies Research is an international, online, open access and peer-reviewed journal. JCSR publishes research papers, theoretical works, literature reviews, research reports and book reviews on all aspects of curriculum studies.
Manuscripts are invited for a special issue of the journal on the theme Inclusive Curriculum in the Era of Digital & Virtual Learning. The special issue will be co-edited by Eric B. Claravall (California State University, Sacramento) and Kelsey Evans-Amalu (Delta State University).
Inclusive curriculum reflects the commitment toward attaining social justice and equity in teaching and learning. Our vision is to develop curricula that challenge and dismantle structural and systemic issues (e.g., racism, ableism, sexism, classism, linguicism, ageism, heterosexism, religious bias, and xenophobia) that our global society currently faces.
We invite manuscripts on research, either theoretical and empirical, that examine issues of equity in education, inside and outside the classroom. With the increased use of online resources and digital platforms, we are particularly interested in publishing articles that discuss the role of digital and virtual learning for a more equitable and inclusive curriculum. We seek research from different methodological orientations, theoretical frameworks, and diverse disciplines.
We are currently soliciting abstracts for proposed papers for this special issue. Abstracts should be no longer than 500 words and be accompanied by up to six keywords. Inquiries regarding article ideas are welcome.
