CALL FOR PAPERS
Journal of Language, Identity, and Education
Thomas Ricento and Terrence G. Wiley, Editors
Special topic issue: Queer inquiry in language education
Cynthia D. Nelson, Guest Editor
The Journal of Language, Identity and Education is seeking submissions
for a special topic issue that examines sexual identities within
language education (or language-in-education) contexts. This special
topic issue, entitled 'Queer inquiry in language education', will
provide a unique and timely forum for exploring questions such as:
Has the proliferation of increasingly visible lesbian, gay,
bisexual, transgender and queer identities and communities led to
a re-thinking of language teaching practices?
What challenges and opportunities arise for students, teachers,
teacher educators and other stakeholders in language or literacy
education when attempts are made to foster classroom inquiry about
sexual identities?
How might queer theory be of use in moving beyond monosexual
pedagogies, especially in teaching contexts that are intercultural
and multilingual?
How might these questions be addressed, or need to be reframed,
with reference to language-focused programs in regions of the
world that tend to be under-represented in literature on gay/queer
matters in education?
What innovations in theory, pedagogy, policy or praxis are needed
in order to engage a range of sexual identities - both as subject
matter and as participant positionings - within language and
literacy programs?
The Journal of Language, Identity and Education invites contributions
to this special topic issue to be published in 2005. We are soliciting
papers that critically examine the domain of sexual identity within
second language, foreign language or literacy programs, or other
education programs in which language is a central focus. Papers may
engage with a diversity of teaching contexts and levels (e.g. primary,
secondary, tertiary, adult or community-based education), approaches to
knowledge production, and theoretical frameworks, though all papers are
expected to consider questions of identity, subjectivity or
representation as explored in queer theory or other frameworks
(poststructuralist, feminist, postcolonialist). Contributions from
nontraditional settings and under-represented scholarly circles are
encouraged.
We are currently soliciting two- to three-page abstracts for this
issue. (Brief proposals for book reviews are also welcome.) Send by
e-mail or snail mail two copies of the abstract and a brief (50-word)
biographical statement with a full mailing address, daytime/evening
phone numbers, and email address (if available). Abstracts should be
mailed no later than March 1, 2004 to the following address:
