Professional Communications

PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATIONS The PEABODY JOURNAL OF EDUCATION publishes quarterly sym­ posia in the broad area of education and human development. The editor works with guest editors, who, in turn, work with groups of scholars to present multifaceted, integrated work of social scientists, humanists, practitioners, and policy makers. Unsolicited proposals for special issues—including designation of participating scholars and an outline of articles—will be accepted for review. Additionally, the editor works with the editorial board to identify topics, guest editors, and contribu­ tors. The editor encourages submission of case studies that demonstrate the development of theory. The JOURNAL has the flexibility to con­ sider publishing monographs or series focused on particular lines of inquiry. In all cases, the editor and the editorial board will insure that each special issue is reviewed and is a high quality contribution to the literature.
