CFP: Journal of Educational Administration and Policy Studies
The Journal of Educational Administration and Policy Studies (JEAPS) is a multidisciplinary peer-reviewed journal published that will be monthly by Academic Journals (http://www.academicjournals.org/JEAPS). JEAPS is dedicated to increasing the depth of the subject across disciplines with the ultimate aim of expanding knowledge of the subject.
Editors and reviewers
JEAPS is seeking qualified researchers to join its editorial team as editors, subeditors or reviewers. Kindly send your resume to JEAPS@acadjourn.org
Call for Papers
JEAPS will cover all areas of the subject. The journal welcomes the submission of manuscripts that meet the general criteria of significance and scientific excellence, and will publish:
• Original articles in basic and applied research
• Case studies
• Critical reviews, surveys, opinions, commentaries and essays
We invite you to submit your manuscript(s) to JEAPS@acadjourn.org for publication in the Maiden Issue (April 2009). Our objective is to inform authors of the decision on their manuscript(s) within four weeks of submission. Following acceptance, a paper will normally be published in the next issue. Instruction for authors and other details are available on our website; http://www.academicjournals.org/JEAPS/Instruction.htm
JEAPS is an Open Access Journal
One key request of researchers across the world is unrestricted access to research publications. Open access gives a worldwide audience larger than that of any subscription-based journal and thus increases the visibility and impact of published works. It also enhances indexing, retrieval power and eliminates the need for permissions to reproduce and distribute content. JEAPS is fully committed to the Open Access Initiative and will provide free access to all articles as soon as they are published.

Deadline: January 18, 2008
Call for Papers
This inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary conference aims to provide a vigorous forum for the examination and evaluation of higher education and the contexts where higher education is delivered. The project is committed to the tradition of liberal education, the inherent value of the pursuit of learning and the principle that knowledge must be an end in itself. In particular, the project will explore the nature and aims of higher education, its guiding principles, its
practical functions, and its role in society.
This fifth instalment of the Global Conference on the Idea of Education continues within the
tradition of critical debate of and engaged reflection on Higher Education that started in 2002 with the first two conferences, held at Mansfield College (Oxford), and the follow-up conferences held in Prague. Over the years, the conferences have proven to be a creative hub for those who are committed to Higher Education (HE) and who are willing to critically think through the
key issues in and fundamental challenges of Higher Education in the 21st century. The project is
committed to the tradition of liberal education and the value of the pursuit of learning.
Papers, presentations, reports and workshops are invited on issues on or broadly related to any of the following conference streams:
1. The Nature, Purpose and Changing Landscapes of Higher Education
1. What are the nature and aims of the historical traditions which shape HE?
2. Which possible roles of liberal arts education remain viable in an era in which ‘instruction’, ‘training’ and ‘vocational training’ seems to redefine the nature of HE?
3. From ‘students’ to ‘customers’ and ‘professors’ to ‘knowledge-managers’: How may the changing relationships and partners in education transform the agents within HE?
4. What are the costs and benefits of commodification and the rise of managerialism in HE?
5. From ‘basic research’ to ‘Mode Two,’ from ‘basic funding’ to ‘fourth stream funding’: What is
the impact of the changing landscapes of research, research types and research funding on HE?
6. ‘Mind your own business:’ but what, precisely, is the ‘business’ of the university?
2. Society, Culture and the of Places of Higher Education
1. What is the role of places of HE in the 21st Century?
2. What are the social and institutional contexts of the university and the college?
3. What are ‘the needs of society’ in relation to HE?
4. What visions are there for reconceiving the place and work of HE institutions?
5. What visions exist for the future of multicultural and intercultural HE?
6. How to cope with linguistic and cultural diversity in HE?
7. Which anthropologies, sociologies and philosophies of HE for the 21st century?
8. How do knowledge economies and lifelong learning transform HE?
3. The Internet, Virtual Learning and Higher Education
1. Emerging technologies within HE;
2. International technology challenges and experiences;
3. Organizational issues/strategies in Virtual HE;
4. Best virtual teaching practice;
5. Case studies of experimental projects;
6. Blended Learning approaches;
7. Professional development and support structures
8. Intellectual Property issues
4. Globalisation, Democracy and Higher Education
1. Can there be a ‘Global University’? What does/should it look like?
2. Where’s the ‘place’ of the university in a globalised world? (Coalitions, branches, networks,
ICT & virtuality, Bricks vs Clicks)
3. Who does the global university ‘relate’ to? (Local communities, Nation states, Governments,
International organizations?)
4. What can HE ‘service to society’ mean in a globalised world?
5. Which relations (should) exist between HE and international development & capital?
6. Global HE and knowledge production matters and intellectual property issues
7. HE in the context of political and economical ideologies.
8. Issues of Citizenship, social justice and HE.
9. Power, participation, access and inequality in globalised HE.

Call for Education-Technology Writers for Education World
They are looking for education-technology writers - i.e. educators who are actively involved with using technology in schools and who can write clear, readable text - for the features below.
1. a monthly (bylined) column on topics of interest to school tech coordinators, tech integration specialists, etc.... i.e. directed to tech people rather than to classroom teachers. The column would deal with issues like teacher training, helping tech specialists understand the tech issues classroom teachers deal with, tech integration tips...practical information for school tech people
2. tech lps (http://www.educationworld.com/a_tech/archives/techlp.shtml):
curriculum-based lessons that utilize technology, not lessons on how to use technology ($50 for each one we use)
3. templates (http://www.educationworld.com/tools_templates/index.shtml) (I prefer
someone who will create 4/month all year, but will accept ideas for smaller sets)
4. tech "classroom spotlight" articles - articles highlighting classroom teachers who have successfully integrated technology into their curriculum
5. occasional general interest tech integration articles
If you're interested or just want to know more, email me off list at lstarr@educationworld.com

CFP: Library Research Seminar IV
CFP: Library Research Seminar IV
London, Ontario
October 10-12, 2007
http://lrs4.fims.uwo.ca
Theme: The Library in Its Socio-Cultural Context: Issues for Research and Practice
Abstracts of 600-800 words, including references, are due by February 15, 2007 to the Conference Chair, Dr. Gloria Leckie (address noted below). (NEW DATE)
It is a longstanding truism that for too long, too much library research has been focused inward, on practices, means, and ends articulated in our own logic and language. Research which accounts for the social and cultural contexts of libraries is much needed and will expand this horizon by more fully integrating the insights and methods of other fields to inform library
practices and research, with a view to improving service to users. Libraries do not stand outside of their communities, schools, universities or organizations - and those institutional contexts are themselves powerfully affected by the social and cultural contexts of the societies they inhabit.
The goal of Library Research Seminar IV is to stimulate and share research on libraries and the people who might benefit from them, utilizing many disciplinary perspectives which allow for analysis and insights into libraries in their various contexts. For example, the context of school
reform efforts like No Child Left Behind powerfully affects the direction, funding, relationship to curricula of school libraries, and library research should address the fiscal, ethical, or educational implications of this context.
We invite papers that critically explore:
- the intellectual contexts that inform library research and practice
- the local, community contexts that shape the development and implementation of library programs and services
- the policy issues and general social forces shaping libraries
- the broad cultural trends affecting libraries
- multi- or interdisciplinary perspectives on the everyday contexts of libraries affecting their collections, services, budgets, user groups, external relations etc.
