CFP: Environment, Curriculum and Education

another one of interest, perhaps (oh, and no apparent deadline, since they want to publish it serially over the next few years?? not sure; here it is anyway):
The Journal of Curriculum Studies (JCS) welcomes submissions for a forthcoming special issue on "Environment, Curriculum and Education"

For full details please visit http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/cfp/tcuscfp1.pdf

Since the 1970s, the state of the environment and pathways toward sustainability have both emerged and been contested as onjects of political and pedagogic discourse in a range of institutions and places throughout the world. Often ties to shifts in and a broadening of ecological consciousness, it can also be noted that various attempts to "green" civil society and structures have led to mixed responses on the part of new social movements and formations, schools and communities, and business and governance, amongst others.

The Journal of Curriculum Studies seeks to publish a series of scholarly articles and essays on "Environmental, Curriculum and Education". Papers might address, but are not limited to, inquiries about:

- the politics and philosophy of the environment and / or sustainability in teaching, learning and the curriculum
- contemporary and possible purposes, expectations and policies shaping formal education systems
- the relationship between academic environmental and sustainability research and scholarship and the curriculum

To read the full Special Call for Submissions please visit http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/cfp/tcuscfp1.pdf

Submissions should be sent to Alan Reid, special editor for the "Education, Curriculum and Education" strand of Journal of Curriculum Studies.
