Journal for Social Theory in Art Education

Journal for Social Theory and Art Education
Journal Theme Volume 30:
Un(precedent)ED
Deadline: December 15, 2009

The Journal for Social Theory and Art Education (JSTAE) serves as an alternative voice for the field of art education through the promotion of scholarly research that addresses social issues, action, and transformation as well as creative methods of research and writing. Volume 30 will be the inaugural online issue, which will accommodate a wide variety of digital media and hypertextual forms of writing, and will be accompanied by a blog that will allow authors and readers to interact in ways previously impossible.

JSTAE invites submissions of articles, audiovisual pieces with commentary, reviews of books, films, Web sites, performance/actions, and exhibitions for an upcoming 30th volume of JSTAE that explores the theme of Un(precedent)ED. Potential contributors are also encouraged to consider the theme Un(precedent)ED, possibly working collaboratively with others in and outside art education in writing for Volume 30. What unprecedented images and events have changed the contemporary visual culture landscape? In the United States, we have had an unprecedented election, unprecedented turnout of voters, and many other unprecedented events with President Obama's message of hope and change. What happens when people hope for change? What are the visual qualities associated with political, social, and personal change? What unprecedented changes have recently taken place in education? What might the future hold for art education?

The JSTAE submission deadline is December 15, 2009 for Volume 30. To be considered for publication, original manuscripts should be prepared in accordance with the 6th edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association.
