Educational Studies

Aims and Scope

Educational Studies, as the official journal of the American Educational Studies Association (AESA), invites submissions that advance critical thinking about important areas relevant to AESA and the disciplines of social and educational foundations. AESA was established in 1968 as an international learned society for scholars, researchers, teacher educators, students, teachers,and administrators who are interested in social and educational foundations, both in and outside of schools. The organization has attracted scholars who engage within the disciplines of philosophy, history, politics, sociology, anthropology, geography, economics as well as Indigenous, critical race/ethnic, critical dis/ability, women and gender, queer, cultural, comparative, transnational, and diaspora studies. Educational Studies brings together the work of both established and emerging scholars from the above-mentioned fields of study who theorize and examine educational studies, broadly defined, and whose work promotes the exchange and debate of contemporary ideas, issues, trends, and problems, and pushes beyond current understandings of educational research, theory, and practice. In addition to research articles, the journal invites submissions of reviews of books, films/documentaries, arts, and new media; essays; and other creative works that not only invigorate engagement in AESA’s cross-disciplinary forum on and commitment to public education, cultural diversity, educational equality and equity, and environmental sustainability; but also engender deliberate curricular, pedagogical, program, policy, and community initiatives and movements toward social and ecological justice locally and globally.
