Invitation to Submit Manuscripts to the Oregon Journal of the Social Studies (submission deadline for next issue: April 30, 2023)
Executive Editor: Kenneth Carano, Professor, Western Oregon University, caranok@wou.edu
About the Journal:
The Oregon Journal of the Social Studies, a peer-reviewed electronic journal. Submissions from all social studies disciplines as well as from interdisciplinary perspectives are welcome. Each submission will be refereed using a double-blind peer review process. Submit manuscripts as a file attachment to the executive editor. Submit your manuscript with an email message indicating that it has not been published elsewhere, is not under consideration for publication elsewhere, and that copyright will be given to the Oregon Journal of the Social Studies should it be accepted for publication. NOTE: As social studies stories and histories in the US have been predominated from white perspectives, we are especially interested in manuscripts from BIPOC voices and/or manuscripts that encourage social studies educators to center BIPOC voices in their curricula. At OJSS we are making a coordinated effort to use our privileged positions to work with authors through the editorial process to reach the goal of BIPOC voices and histories being part of the norm, rather than the exception, in social studies education.).
