Guest Editors: Omolabake Fakunle, University of Edinburgh and Fiona Hunter, Centre for Higher Education Internationalisation. Università Cattolica del Sacro Cuore, Milano

The journal of Journal of Comparative and International Higher Education invites papers to be considered for a Special Issue on “Conceptualizing Micro-Level Narratives in Thematic Constructs of Internationalization,” to appear in Winter 2024. Papers in this special issue will expound on the micro-level dimension in the internationalization of higher education. The aim is to critically examine internationalization at the individual level because internationalization is impossible without the participation and contribution of individuals who enable [and sustain] its functioning at the institutional, national, and international levels. 

Submission deadlines: October 1, 2023 (proposals) and January 30, 2024 (completed articles).

Guest Editors: Ian Craig, University of the West Indies, Kalyani Unkule, O.P. Jindal Global University, Law School, Santiago Castiello-Gutiérrez, Seton Hall University, and Jean-Blaise Samou, Saint Mary’s University
 
The journal of Comparative and International Education / Éducation comparée et internationale invites manuscripts to be considered for a Special Issue on “Pluralizing Educational Mobilities,” to appear in Summer 2024. In recent years, there has been a critical turn in international education scholarship (including education abroad), placing a stronger focus on issues of equity and inclusion, which trains a decolonial lens on research and practice around international mobilities, especially in light of the ongoing disruptions (social movements, global pandemics, wars, climate disasters) that have transformed our world in the past few years. The aim of this Special Issue is to contribute to this endeavour by presenting research in the area of educational mobility that further diversifies meaning-making around this activity.

For this Special Issue, CIE / ECI welcomes articles in English,  French, or Spanish presenting original research and scholarship on the specified topic. 

Submission deadline: October 1st, 2023 (full manuscript). EXTENDED SUBMISSION DEADLINE: OCTOBER 31st, 2023

Guest Editors: Khaled Al Masaeed, Carnegie Mellon University, Addisalem T. Yallew, University of the Western Cape, Richard Feddersen, University of Alberta, and John L. Plews, Saint Mary’s University 

The journal of Study Abroad Research in Second Language Acquisition and International Education (SAR) invites manuscripts to be considered for a Special Issue on “Decolonizing Multilingual Study Abroad Research,” to appear in fall 2024. In recent years, there has been a critical turn in study abroad and international education scholarship, placing new emphasis on issues of equity, diversity, and inclusion. This has become ever more urgent in light of the ongoing disruptions (social movements, global pandemics, geopolitical shifts, climate disasters) that have transformed the world in the past few years. This Special Issue aims to contribute further to the critical turn by focusing on decolonizing research and practice around international mobility and learning or using second, additional, multiple languages. It endeavours to present research that diversifies and pluralizes meaning-making around the phenomenon of language learning and teaching in study abroad contexts.

Submission deadlines: May 31st, 2023 (abstracts) and November 15th, 2023 (first draft of full manuscript).
