The British Journal of Sociology of Education is delighted to invite calls for proposals from individuals or teams to edit a special issue. We are particularly keen to receive proposals that focus on topics that are at the leading edge of current debates and are clearly relevant to the journal’s international leadership.
Proposals should be clearly sociological in nature and address any area of education (including formal and informal sectors). Submissions can adopt theoretical, methodological, review-based and/or empirical angles and must clearly articulate how the overarching theme proposed will make a significant and lasting contribution to the field.
We particularly welcome submissions from editors/editorial teams who identify as from minoritised/ marginalised communities.
Proposals should outline: the topic of the proposed special issue; the research
expertise and any previous editorial experience of the proposed editor/editorial team; and a provisional timetable for putting the special issue together.
Please note that all British Journal of Sociology of Education special issues are
advertised through an open call for papers.
Proposals (no more than 1500 words) should be emailed to Rachel Brooks
(r.brooks@surrey.ac.uk) by 16th October 2023.
