Submission Guidelines
| Quote: |
| We welcome submissions from practitioners who are undertaking to understand and explain their educational influences in their own learning, the learning of others, and in their own contexts. We are keen to publish accounts in which practitioners show how they are living their values in their working lives. Indeed one of the reasons for our existence is to give the space, freedom and encouragement to speak to people who may not have been able to, or have wanted to, or felt the relevance of writing and representing - their vast and important ideas and knowledge before. Although we prefer practitioners' accounts, we are open to different forms of expression from contributors who stand firmly in their lives for the life-affirming values that help others and make the world a better place for all peoples. |

Peer-Reviewers Board
Prof. Dr. Ladislav Bognar, Croatia
Dr. Pip Bruce-Ferguson, New Zealand
Mr. Tian Fengjun, China
Mr. Lewis Husain, China
Marie Huxtable, United Kingdom
Dr. Ram Singh-Punia, India
Mr. Zhang Zuotang, China
The submissions should reveal a desire to bring (at least some of) the values of, for example, love, freedom, justice, compassion, courage, care and democratic evaluation more fully into the world.
In what ways might your own experiences and insights be brought to bear in order to enhance the submission in some way?
Rather than a review being perceived as a static process, we are hoping it will engage you and the authors (and anyone who is interested) in dynamic discussions about how we might, together, improve what we are doing.
The team at EJOLTS would like to offer a creative and dialectical space within which we all feel comfortable to challenge and/or affirm in an atmosphere of mutual learning. |

| That's about the most ridiculous journal I've ever seen, especially with so many Chinese on the masthead. What do they know about love and justice? Perhaps it's because there's such a paucity of love and justice in China that this journal attracts Chinese editors. Having taught in China some time ago, I would say I had a totally different angle on displaying my values in class and out while I was there. |

Hmmmm.....E-jolts, huh? That's what my little brother got when I convinced him to stick a fork into a 110 vac outlet.
This rag belongs in the same category as "The Journal of Irreproducible Results" and the "Flat Earth News." |

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bertrand Russell:
>>To the sophisticated youth of the West all this ardour seems a trifle crude. He is firmly persuaded that having studied everything impartially, he has seen through everything and found that there is `nothing left remarkable beneath the visiting moon.'
...If this diagnosis is right, modern cynicism cannot be cured merely by preaching, or by putting better ideals before the young than those that their pastors and masters fish out from the rusty armory of outworn superstitions. The cure will only come when intellectuals can find a career that embodies their creative impulses.<<< |
Different strokes for different folks, eh?
There are SOME progressives in China.
Mr. Tian Fengjun (mentioned in MAG...ABOVE), China has developed in Ningxia at his Teachers College, w/a British VSO Volunteer specialist, an Action Research Centre.
Check it out.
