Call for Manuscripts

In celebration of ACPA Commission for Social Justice Educators' 5th Anniversary we are pleased to announce a call for manuscripts.

We are soliciting chapters for a monograph that examines critical issues, perspectives, experiences and core competencies in social justice education facilitation. By social justice facilitation we are referring to efforts that lead participants to reflect upon their multiple identities, critically examine social practices, question the power that maintains the social order, and encourages actions that help create a world that is accessible and physically and psychological safe and secure for all people.

The desire is for chapters to be a collection of personal narratives from social justice facilitators and the sharing of their reflective journeys.

Manuscripts that offer practical strategies, research findings, or lessons learned such as the following are encouraged:

• Successes and challenges in facilitating critical dialogues among participants on social justice issues
• Examples and reflections upon the core competencies/skills that led to successful social justice facilitation
• Stories of “going off script” or adjusting a training based on something that arose in a session (e.g., how to prepare to “think on your feet”, responding to resistance; creating an inclusive learning environment)
• In-depth analysis and reflection on how knowing oneself, knowing the learners, creating learning based curriculum/training goals, or partnering with learners led to transformative learning
• Reflection upon unsuccessful social justice education facilitation experiences, identifying challenges and lessons learned

Submission Information:

• Chapter submissions should be approximately 30-35 pages in APA format
• References, abstract, and cover page are not included in page count
• Proposal drafts and consultations prior to submissions are encouraged!
• Send all submissions electronically by June 15, to Lisa Landreman, llandrem@macalester.edu
