PEA Yearbook 2012
PEA Yearbook Call for Proposals
February, 2010
Each year, the PEA Publications Committee selects an editor or editors for a PEA Yearbook issue of the journal Educational Policy. The Yearbook issue is organized around a theme. The Yearbook issues are especially successful when they provide an opportunity for senior and junior scholars to work together, either as co-editors or as contributors.
This year’s proposals are due on June 15, 2010.
They should be submitted electronically to the Publications Committee chair, Kathryn A. McDermott: mcdermott@educ.umass.edu
Generally, proposals come from a pair or trio of editors, rather than a single individual.
Proposals should contain the following:
Title and/or theme of the Yearbook
Rationale (5-8 pages) which describes in more detail the proposed theme, its salience, theoretical perspectives and an indication of current trends and research in the field. Within the rationale there should be a clear indication of the how the term 'politics' is being interpreted or defined.
Indicative list of proposed contributors and topics of articles. Please note, we do appreciate that these may change as the editorial process develops. We need some idea, at this stage, of the areas of the field you would like to cover and who you have in mind to do it. Each Yearbook is composed of about 10-12 contributions plus editors' commentary. It is helpful if these are arranged in sections. You are encouraged to examine past editions.

General points
Proposals will be read and reviewed by members of the Publications Committee and the successful proposers will be notified by e-mail.
The committee prefers joint editorial arrangements, and it encourages newer scholars to work alongside an experienced colleague or colleagues.
Editors may contribute articles but it is worthwhile remembering that they also have the opportunity to write a Foreword and/ or concluding commentary.
The timeline for production of the Yearbook will be worked out among the Yearbook editors, the PEA Publications Committee, and the editors of Educational Policy, and will be recorded in a Memorandum of Agreement.
