Collaborations Journal: Call for Submissions from undergraduate and graduate students

[Announcement from SCRA-L]


Hello, we are seeking submissions from undergraduate and graduate students to feature in the journal Collaborations. We’d like to review submissions created by students and products collaboratively created with faculty and/or community partners. We know there is a lot of great collaborative work going on where you are, so please encourage students and community partners to send us their stories.    --Scot


Collaborations: A Journal of Community-Based Research and Practice
Sponsored by the University of Miami and Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey

Collaborations is now accepting written reports and multi-media submissions from undergraduate and graduate students for our forthcoming 2018 issues.

In the Experiential Learning section of the journal, we seek to publish reflective essays and multimedia submissions that examine the moral, ethical, philosophical, and epistemological questions that confront individuals during the process of community-based learning, research, and action. Areas of contribution would include the process of learning to work within a partnership; considerations in the creation of products for faculty, scholarly, community, and other audiences resulting from collaborations; examples of innovative products; and challenges of working within different value systems and cultural contexts.

For instance, authors could consider how their experiential learning process affected their ideas about knowing, about social justice and inclusion, about diversity and collaboration, and about themselves. Authors also should address what the process taught them about building impactful partnerships and how the partnership did or did not effectively achieve the goals it set out to accomplish. We are particularly interested in submissions by graduate and undergraduate students participating in experiential learning coursework, practica, or internships.

Submissions will be accepted on a rolling basis.

Refer to the link for publication and submission guidelines. http://scholarlyrepository.miami.edu/collaborations/
