Call for Papers

Journal of the Assembly for Expanded Perspectives on Learning (JAEPL) solicits submissions for the eighth annual edition. Dedicated to teaching and learning beyond traditional disciplines, JAEPL invites theory-grounded manuscripts that discuss pedagogical concerns focusing on topics that extend beyond currently accepted attitudes toward, and paradigms of, language. The editors solicit essays exploring subjects that range over a spectrum of interests including, but not limited to, emotion, imagery, kinesthetics, ecofeminism, situated knowledge, meditation, healing, and inspiration.

Send by January 31, 2007, 4 copies of letter quality manuscripts (attach postage for mailing 3 copies to readers), MLA style, approximately 15-20 pages including works cited to:

Call for Stories

Narratives are central to our lives. We are story creatures, homo narrans, as Walter Fisher argues. From myths to gossip to daydreams, narratives permeate if not constitute the fabric of our social (and intellectual) existence. However, the stories that undergird our theory and our pedagogy tend to recede from view when we write in and for the academy.

"Connecting," our new JAEPL section, will bring those stories into prominence.

JAEPL adds this new dimension to its journal to provide an exchange of stories on teaching and living. Therefore, we solicit narratives ranging from stories of teaching and living to stories that blur the borders between fact and fiction.

Send by January 31, 2007, three copies of your
"connecting" submission – short narrative pieces
from 500 to 750 words, to:

Helen Walker, JAEPL "Connecting" Editor
Department of Language, Literature, & Composition
Messiah College
Grantham, PA 17027
