Calls for Submissions

Studies is now accepting manuscripts for a special issue publishing May 2025, “exploring the discourse and actions of decolonizing research practices in art education.” Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts that pursue change and reflect upon transformations made possible by decolonizing discourse and actions in art education. Submissions are due April 1, 2024.

Authors are encouraged to submit manuscripts as a means to pursue change and reflect upon transformations made possible by decolonizing discourse and actions in art education. This call requests that our field asks: How might we approach decolonizing the embedded coloniality of contemporary practices in artistry, pedagogy, research, forms of writing, the language we use, and in our ways of thinking, feeling, and knowing?
