Important Updates to JoSoTL’s Publication Process and Accessibility Guidelines

2025-07-15

The Journal of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (JoSoTL) is implementing two key changes starting July 2025: a transition to a rolling publication model, where articles will be published individually as soon as they are ready to reduce delays and improve visibility, and updated formatting guidelines to meet federal WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility standards by April 2026. Authors with accepted but not yet finalized manuscripts must follow the new accessibility requirements, including using Arial font and built-in document tools for structure and alt text. Authors will be contacted individually regarding publication timelines and any necessary revisions.

Pedagogy of the Polarized Issue Now Published

2022-01-04

JoSoTL is pleased to announce the publication of its special issue on Pedagogy of the Polarized. In this issue, the authors offer a compelling range of strategies for diagnosing, theorizing, and addressing the social forces and controversial topics that feed polarization. The essays reflect neither a consensus of belief nor a singular methodological approach; in fact, at times they challenge each other’s assumptions and conclusions. We welcome such a rich variety of methodological and theoretical diversity in this issue, for no one method or theory will ever have a monopoly on wisdom, much less truth.
