For list members' information. They have a worthwhile project, I feel, 
and if members of SIG-CRIT can, I think that they deserve support by way 
of submitted work. Thank you, Ron Day

InterActions: UCLA Journal of Education and Information Studies, is now
accepting papers on a rolling basis for upcoming 2005-06 issues.  The
current Call for Papers follows.  Please post to other lists as appropriate:

________________________________________________________________________________________________
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
perspectives. 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 these specific
lenses, 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.
