Journals

  • Critical Education

    Critical Education

    Critical Education is an international, refereed, diamond open access journal published by the Institute for Critical Education Studies (ICES). 

    Contributions critically examine contemporary education contexts, practices, and theories. Articles published in Critical Education are typically distinguished by an emphasis on critique (analyzing and challenging systemic power relations) and/or transformation (seeking to enact social change through analysis, collective action, and praxis).

    Critical Education publishes theoretical and empirical research as well as articles that advance educational practices that challenge the existing state of affairs in society, schools, higher education, and informal education. The journal welcomes submissions grounded in critical theory from a wide variety of perspectives including Marxism, anarchism, and critical perspectives on race, class, gender/sexuality, ability, etc. 

    ICES, Critical Education, and its companion publication Workplace: A Journal for Academic Labor, defend the freedom, without restriction or censorship, to disseminate and publish reports of research, teaching, and service, and to express critical opinions about institutions or systems and their management. Co-Directors of ICES, co-Hosts of ICES and Workplace blogs, and co-Editors of these journals resist all efforts to limit the exercise of academic freedom and intellectual freedom, recognizing the right of criticism by authors or contributors.
