We are pleased to present the newest issue of the Berkeley Review of

Education (BRE), an open-access, peer-reviewed journal edited by

students from the Graduate School of Education at the University of

California, Berkeley. We are currently accepting submissions on a

rolling basis. The process of submission to publication is

approximately a year, with notification of acceptance within three

months. If you're interested in submitting to our journal, see our

The Berkeley Review of Education (BRE) encourages senior and emerging

scholars, practitioners, and policy-makers to submit articles that

address issues of educational diversity and equity from various

intra/interdisciplinary perspectives. The editorial board especially

welcomes submission of manuscripts that engage with one or more of our

2014-2015 Board Priorities:

•   Pressing Issues. The BRE seeks to publish papers that address

compelling issues impacting schools, educational systems, and other

learning environments.

•   Critical Scholarship. The BRE welcomes a broad range of “critical”

scholarship, particularly work that analyzes, evaluates, and

problematizes power and dominant structures, and helps us to imagine

something new.

•   Pushing Borders & Boundaries. The BRE seeks to promote scholarship

that re-conceptualizes and transcends academic identities, labels, and

categories. We encourage work from all disciplines, as well as

interdisciplinary work that builds towards new understandings of

educational processes and practices.

•   Forging Communities. The BRE seeks to foster new and existing

relationships within and beyond the academy. As an open-access

journal, we aim to democratize knowledge and encourage work that

originates from and speaks to a wide range of scholars, practitioners,

activists, and educators.

Submission Guidelines

All papers are subject to a double-blind peer review process. Authors

retain the copyright to the articles they publish in the journal. The

BRE does not publish material that has been previously published and

does not accept papers that have been simultaneously submitted

elsewhere for publication (see BRE Policies).

We encourage the submission of a wide range of manuscripts including

but not limited to theoretical or historical analyses, empirical

studies, scholarly essays, analytical literature reviews, and

practitioner reflections.

Articles must be in American Psychological Association, Sixth Edition

(APA) format and have all identifiers blinded. Submit manuscripts as a

single word file with a brief abstract (no more than 150 words) and a

list of up to five keywords.
