No mention of geography in the list of social
sciences here, but I'd expect that the editors would consider contributions from
geographers- John

Social
Sciences
Apologies for cross-posting
Edited by Penny
Welch, University of Wolverhampton and
Sue Wright, Danish University of
Education, Copenhagen
LATISS is a refereed journal that aims to use the
disciplines of sociology,
anthropology, politics, international relations and
social policy to reflect
critically on learning and teaching practices in
higher education and to
analyse their relationship to changes in higher
education policies and
institutions.
The research field of Learning
and Teaching in the Social Sciences
will
include:
· all aspects of learning and
teaching and higher education reform from
national and comparative
perspectives
· evidence based developments in
curriculum, assessment, learning and
teaching
methods
· analyses of impacts of institutional and
national policies on learning and
teaching - e.g. widening access,
employability, audit, quality enhancement
Each volume will have some
articles on a common theme. The overall theme for
2004 is Changing Landscapes
of Higher Education.
The journal seeks to promote scholarship and
research on learning and
teaching and invites contributions from a wide and
diverse community of
practitioners, researchers and students. All
contributions should be written
in a clear and accessible style, avoiding the
use of jargon.
Contributions are likely to fall into one of four
categories
· Articles (5000-6000 words) extending the
knowledge base through original
research and
scholarship.
· Essays (3000-4000 words) offering new
perspectives and stimulating debate.
· Reports
(1000-2500 words) of research in progress and innovations
in
practice.
· Reviews (600-1000 words) of
relevant recent publications, electronic media
and software and
