Journal of Social Theory in Art Education CALL FOR PAPERS • JSTAE Volume 28 This year's theme is OTHER(W)ise Editor: Wanda B. Knight (wbk10@psu.edu) The Journal of Social Theory in Art Education (JSTAE) serves as an alternative voice for the field of art education through the promotion of scholarly research that addresses social issues, action, and transformation as well as creative methods of research and writing. JSTAE invites submissions of articles, reviews of books, films, Web sites, performance/actions, and exhibitions for an upcoming 28th volume of JSTAE that explore the theme of OTHER(W)ise. The theme opens doors to focus on different or otherwise untapped art topics, alternative thinking, conduct, habits, or ways of being, apart from supposed or expected topics. Moreover, it opens doors to look at other forms of wisdom and knowledge, and what constitutes that knowledge and wisdom, how it is organized and who is empowered to teach it, and just as critically, what qualifies as evidence of having learned it. Potential contributors are also encouraged to consider different methods and means, besides the ones already cited in the field, to increase the quality of art education and equity of opportunity for learners. Otherwise, invisibility and silence of some forms of knowledge serves to normalize others and, therefore, maintain their dominance. Moreover, other eyes–as implied by the “ise” in OTHER(W)ise–provide multiple perspectives that help shape the vision for the field of art education in exciting new directions we might not have otherwise explored.   Topics for consideration might include: Art education Otherwise Wise and Otherwise Other(s) Eyes Otherwise in Art Education Art AfterMATH… Flirting on the Brink Ignite: Catalyst For? Taking a Leap Otherwise The JSTAE submission deadline is September 1, 2007 for Volume 28.

The Journal of Social Theory in Art Education (JSTAE) is a publication of the Caucus on Social Theory & Art Education (CSTAE), a National Art Education Association Issues Group. Its editorial policy is in compliance with the CSTAE's constitutional mandate: to promote the use of theoretical concepts from the social sciences—which include, but are not limited to, anthropology, sociology, and political science—to study visual culture and the teaching of art; to inform art educators about theory and practice in the social sciences, thus acting as a liaison between social scientists and art educators; to encourage research into the social context of visual culture and teaching art; and to develop socially relevant programs for use in the teaching of art. Journal Process and Timetable: JSTAE is published annually and typcially distributed to current CSTAE members at the NAEA annual conference and mailed in May to those who did not attend NAEA. CSTAE members are encouraged to offer your services as JSTAE reviewers. To do so, contact Wanda B.
