Open Call for Papers for Volume 27
Welcome to the first call for papers from the new Canadian Journal for Environmental Education (CJEE) editorial team. Since its inception in 1996, CJEE has been known for promoting innovative, experimental, and trailblazing research. Aligning with those origins, we seek submissions that expose assumptions, challenge methodological orthodoxies, further essential and existential debates, and offer highly imaginative possibilities for practice, pedagogy, and research. What fundamental beliefs in environmental education need to be challenged, adjusted, or updated? What perspectives have been overlooked? What are the possibilities for collaborating with more-than-humans in pedagogical practices and research? How might the challenges of the current moment usher in a new paradigm?
From its origin, CJEE was created to support exploratory research methods, pedagogies, and philosophies in environmental and outdoor education. Founded by the eminent Bob Jickling, CJEE has long published articles by leading researchers while also supporting newer thinkers as the field grows and deepens. Often at the forefront of change, the journal seeks to continue its rich history of opening space for diverse knowledges and the growing range of methods, for an expanding array of voices, and for a changing sense of what research/scholarship/educational practice can and needs to be. To best respond to the current challenges, we need a complexity of voices, robust and diverse visions, and dynamic practices and possibilities that are likely to shake up the “status quo”. CJEE aims to support and welcome these conversations. Help us push the envelope.
While we welcome geographically diverse submissions, we particularly encourage papers with relevance to the Canadian context—itself a dynamic terrain woven into and through the global context.
