for Papers:

________________________________________________________________________________________________
InterActions: UCLA Journal of Education and Information Studies is a 
peer-reviewed electronic journal [http://www.interactions.gseis.ucla.edu/] 
that is committed to the promotion of scholarly work that examines areas of 
education and information studies via interdisciplinary and critical 
frameworks.  A critical framework is any approach that expands our notion of 
traditional analyses of problems and issues.  The journal seeks to link 
diverse theoretical and practical projects, as well as provide a space to 
record the voices of emerging scholars (graduate students and postdoctoral 
fellows), activists, and practitioners.

As education and information institutions continue to face challenging 
times, we seek to promote submissions that engage alternative, liberatory 
possibilities informed by creative theories, methodologies, practices, and 
visions. In particular, we encourage submissions that:

·	Utilize an interdisciplinary framework: Draw upon traditional fields of 
study (such as policy, sociology, information-seeking and retrieval, 
pedagogy, evaluation, psychological development, etc.) or provide insight 
from diverse disciplines (e.g., legal theory, ethnic studies, women’s 
studies, technology studies, etc.).
·	Incorporate critical frameworks and address issues of social inequities:
These frameworks may include, but are not restricted to, feminism, critical 
race theory, Marxism, post-colonialism, critical pedagogy, queer studies, 
disability studies, etc.  Whether or not submissions utilize critical 
frameworks,  they should demonstrate innovation and commitment to advancing 
current analyses and discourses in progressive directions.
·	Extend conventional areas of study through critical and interdisciplinary 
frameworks: These areas include, but are not limited to: bilingual 
education, affirmative action, special education, standards and testing, 
teacher education, school violence, higher education, social research 
methodology, information retrieval, access, systems and institutions, etc.

Deadlines: Currently we are accepting papers for our 2005-2006 issues.

Submission Guidelines:  All articles undergo a double-blind peer-review.  
Please visit the website for detailed submission guidelines. Manuscripts 
that do not abide by the submission guidelines will be returned to the 
author. Please contact interactions at gseis.ucla.edu for more details.

Please send an electronic version of your submission in Word or Rich Text 
(rtf) format to: interactions at gseis.ucla.edu. Send FOUR  paper copies of
