Special Issue Call for Papers: Border Interactions: Immigration-Education-Information

Guest Editor: R. Evely Gildersleeve, Ph.D., Iowa State University

In May 2006, proposed immigration reform legislation galvanized the immigration rights movement to carry out unprecedented public marches, protests, demonstrations, and walk-outs. The altered socio-political landscape of a post-9/11 United States forces us to reexamine existing notions of identity and citizenship, insider and outsider, documented and undocumented, and the meaning applied to the "borderlands."

This special issue of InterActions invites authors to view these concerns through the lenses of education and information studies, and to explore the largely unmapped spaces where immigration, education, and information intersect. This issue encourages a closer examination of the roles of both education and information studies in the immigration debates as well as an examination of the legal, social, philosophical, economic, and cultural aspects, which shape these debates.

Final Manuscript Deadline: March 15, 2007

All articles undergo a double-blind peer-review. Please visit the InterActions website (http://interactions.gseis.ucla.edu) for detailed submission guidelines or contact interactions@gseis.ucla.edu for more information.
