Guidelines for the Upcoming Special Issues

Special Issues for 2010

Most Friends Journal issues offer feature articles on a variety of subjects, but periodically we publish thematic issues. For 2010, we invite submissions for the following two special issues:

Fiftieth Anniversary of Earlham School of Religion (June 2010)

ESR has had a wide impact on the Religious Society of Friends. We will take the occasion of its 50th anniversary to look at it more carefully, and we invite submissions, long and short, from all who have been involved in or affected by ESR.

We request complete submissions by February 1, 2010.

Friends and Education (October 2010)

In January 2001 we published a special issue with this same theme. Nine years have passed, and we are ready again for an across-the-board look at the diverse experiences and issues surrounding Friends involvement in primary, secondary, and higher education—including, but not limited to: financial issues, home schooling, Friends in public education, the mission of Friends schools today, putting Friends values into a curriculum, what to do when no Friends school is at hand, encountering challenges, facing issues of privilege, building Quaker community among Friends school and Friends college students.

We request complete submissions by May 15, 2010.

If you are interested in contributing material on these topics, please get in touch with us. We encourage advance inquiries and suggestions from prospective authors and artists. Contact Robert Dockhorn, senior editor, at senioreditor@friendsjournal.org.
