Landscapes of Education

Landscapes of Education creates space for public intellectuals, scholars, artists, and practitioners to portray inquiries into educational studies from multiple perspectives such as art, music, language and literature, philosophy, history, social sciences, and professional studies. The mission is to expand inquiries theoretically and methodologically portraying multifarious landscapes of education such as mass/social media, fictional renditions, human relationships, international or intercultural understanding, living conditions (e.g., poverty, racism, culture, exile, language, community, war, colonization, oppression, globalization), mysteries and events of life (love, tradition, birth, death, immortality). These educational landscapes influence and are influenced by life in schools, communities, places, and spaces. Books on the what, why, how, when, where, and for whom of such interactions are encouraged. This series illuminates how human beings compose their lives in diverse, complicated, and contested landscapes of education. Methodologically, books in this series connect the personal with the political, the theoretical with the practical, and inquiries with social changes. Special attention is given to books developed from artistic, narrative, auto/biographical, historical, and phenomenological/hermeneutic forms of inquiry that enable readers to empathize with others who are different than themselves. Works in which methods and theories are integrated in the quest for understanding are particularly encouraged. Books in the series also reflect new and exciting ways of researching and representing experience of disenfranchised, underrepresented, and invisible groups and individuals seldom discussed in the literature or often stereotyped or distorted.
