Focus and Scope

The goal of the Journal is to foster intellectual discussion and the exchange of ideas to promote education for democratic citizenship across the Americas. We invite research-based or conceptual articles that advance the discussion about education for democracy. Articles may focus on schools and formal educational processes, or non-formal educational processes; on public, state programs, or non-governmental initiatives; on programs that highlight education for democracy, per se, or that highlight other dimensions which clearly articulate with education for democracy (e.g., intercultural education, human rights education, peace education, gender equity education, etc.).

Although priority is given to authors and topics from countries of the Americas, articles that address experiences in other nations are accepted if they are illustrative and contribute to current debate on issues in the Americas.
