Submissions

Revolutionizing Education: A Journal of Education Policy and Practice is currently accepting submissions. Revolutionizing Education is the official journal of the Massachusetts Teachers Association (https://massteacher.org). We invite researchers, educators and advocates to submit their work to our open-access journal dedicated to advancing education policy and practice in Massachusetts. Our journal prioritizes innovative research that challenges entrenched inequities within education, amplifies voices that are often marginalized, advocates for transformative practices that dismantle power hierarchies, and understands education as a tool for liberation rather than the reproduction of inequality.  

We welcome scholarship from diverse disciplines, multiple methodologies, and topics covering prekindergarten to higher education, including: 

• The history of education union organizing.  
• Labor education practices and approaches.  
• The charter school movement.  
• High-stakes testing and alternatives. 
• Educator labor, political trends and the evolving economy.  
• Political, economic and social context of education in Massachusetts. 
• The politics of school finance and the economics of education.  
• Participatory budgeting. 
• Full-service community schools.  
• Public policy and its intersection with educational policy and practice.  
• Curriculum and instruction.  
• Trends in education privatization.  
• Governance and finance of local and state schools and higher education institutions.
• Privatization in public higher education.  

The journal also accepts:  

• Reviews of relevant books, films and curricula.  
• Reflective pieces on pressing topics in education.  

We encourage submissions from a diverse range of voices and backgrounds, especially those who have been historically underrepresented in educational research. By amplifying these perspectives, we aim to foster a richer understanding of the challenges and opportunities in education policy and practice.
