Special Issue of Gender and Education
Articles are invited to be considered for publication in a special
issue of the journal Gender and Education.
The theme of the issue is Gender, Education, and Forced Migration.
The proposed special issue will examine the gendered impacts of
educational policy and practice enacted in response to forced
migration. Submissions may analyze education policy and practice in
any region of the world experiencing the loss or gain of populations
due to forced migration. Key themes to be explored include :
I. the gendered impacts of shifting relations of power between
communities (defined along ethnic, racial, religious, and/or
national lines) brought about by forced migration and realized
through educational policy and practice ;
II. impacts of gender specific education policy upon (receiving
and displaced) communities ;
III. the role education policy and practice play in shaping
gendered dynamics of transnationality among and between forced
migrant populations ;
IV. schooling as a site and process of gender negotiation within
migrant and/or receiving populations
Articles should be no longer than 5,000-6,000 words in length
including abstract, keywords, notes and references. Initial
abstracts are to be submitted by March 1st. Subsequent proposed
