Submission Criteria*
Radical Pedagogy is a peer reviewed, academic journal that is devoted to the examination of the evolving state of teaching and learning in contemporary academia. Articles are published on a per-issue basis with regular volume numbers and authors are invited to submit their work at any time throughout the year. All submissions will be peer reviewed in a timely and critical (but constructive) manner. The submission of articles implies a commitment on the part of the author to publish in this journal. Thus, authors who submit articles to this journal should not simultaneously submit their manuscripts to other journals.
Articles can be sent directly over the Internet as attachments to email messages (preferably as MSWord documents, although other formats are acceptable as well), or mailed on a 3 1/2 inch disk to the Editor. Articles should be double-spaced and employ a 12 point font throughout--including quotations, references and notes. Each article should be accompanied by a title page that includes: all authors' names, institutional affiliations, addresses, telephone numbers and (if applicable) e-mail addresses. There are no stringent limitations upon the length of submissions. As a general framework, articles should be between 4,000-10,000 words, however, longer and shorter works will also be considered.
Referencing Format for In-Text Citations
When referencing an another author's work in the text cite the last name of the author, the year of publication and place these references in parentheses. For example:
1. If the author's name is in the text, then follow it with the year in parentheses, e.g., "...Foucault (1980)."
2. If the author's name is not in the text, then enclose the last name and year in parentheses, e.g., "...(Richardson, 1997)"
Pagination should follow the year of publication after a colon, e.g., "...(Orwell, 1984: 44)." Separate a series of references with semicolons, e.g., (Baudrillard, 1997; Collins, 1998; Smith, 1983)
References
References should follow the text in a section titled "References." All references used in the text should also be listed in the references section and vice versa. List the references alphabetically by author. If there are two or more items by the same author, then list them in order of the year of publication. If two or more works cited are by the same author within the same year, then distinguish them by adding letters (e.g., a, b, c, etc.). Examples of various referencing formats follow:
