Invitation to submit to a 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:
- 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;
- Impacts of gender specific education policy upon (receiving and
displaced) communities;
- The role education policy and practice play in shaping gendered
dynamics of transnationality among and between forced migrant populations;
- 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
