CALL FOR THEMATIC ISSUES
Research in Comparative and International Education (www.wwwords.co.uk/RCIE) normally devotes two of its four annual issues to particular themes. In 2011 the first such issue, edited by Karen Monkman & Vilma Seeberg and scheduled for March, is on the theme Girls/Young Women’s Education and Empowerment in Marginalized Regions of the World.
This will be followed in September 2011 by a thematic issue on Methods and Instruments for the Evaluation and Monitoring of VET Systems, edited by Philipp Grollmann & Melanie Hoppe.
Exceptionally there will be a third thematic issue this year, scheduled for December, on Study Abroad, Student Mobility and Educational Exchange in Comparative Education Research, edited by Bernhard T. Streitwieser of Northwestern University.
For early 2012 plans are in place for a thematic issue on African Higher Education: researching absences, equalities, and aspirations, edited by Louise Morley & Duna Sabri of the University of Sussex.
The journal’s Editor, Professor David Phillips, will be pleased to consider further proposals for future thematic issues, to be scheduled from September 2012 onwards. Please contact him at the University of Oxford (david.phillips@education.ox.ac.uk)
The journal always welcomes submissions for publication in one of its general issues (normally two a year, in June and December.) Full information about how to contribute to the journal can be found at http://www.wwwords.co.uk/rcie/howtocontribute.asp
