Discussion: View Thread

1.     Research: This section is for traditional empirical (quantitative or qualitative) research and well-crafted, thorough, current reviews of the literature directly related to a relevant area of social change.

2.     Essays: This section is for narrative insights regarding a persistent condition that weakens the worth, dignity, and development of individuals, communities, organizations, institutions, cultures, and/or societies and suggests a specific positive social change that might address an aspect of the condition. Practitioner accounts of change efforts are welcomed here, too. Reports of social change efforts should be written in a scholar-practitioner voice that speaks to a knowledgeable audience.

3.     Teaching: Curricula, teaching methods, philosophies, or other matters of concern to university level teachers of social change are appropriate here.

4.     Resources: Media (books, videos, plays, and journals), websites, and social change related organizations; and grant opportunities for scholars are welcome here. Submissions in this category should include an integrative, themed narrative and not just be a list of organizations, websites, or other resources.

In all cases, submissions must exhibit a scholar-practitioner's voice as when speaking with a well-informed peer. Pedantic claims, ill-defined or defended assertions and summations that are more suited to an informal environment will not be considered. Reviewers judge articles strictly on their merit and whether they stand up to professional scrutiny. We use a double-blind review process.

If you are interested in submitting an article, pleas be sure to read and heed the submission guidelines at: http://www.publishing.waldenu.edu/cgi/submit.cgi?context=jsc

We look forward to reviewing your contribution to positive social change!
