Contributions and editorial process
If you would like to publish a piece on this website, here is how our editing process works 4 steps to publishing with us. We occasionally launch a Call for Papers campaign; however, we welcome contributions throughout the year (you can also click on the Monthly Themes) tab at the top of the webpage, to explore our current and forthcoming topics.
4 steps to publishing with us
- Email a word document with your idea (300 words max, image/s). If you wish to submit a video or audio recording, please email a brief description of the content in a word document (no more than 300 words) to beyondeducation@riseup.net
- Expect a response from a member that has experience of your topic of interest.
- Begin an editorial dialogue; responding to this email will commence the editorial process.
- Be mindful of yours and your editor’s work-life commitments, we expect a maximum of 2 drafts to be processed prior to publication.
Beyond Education community members work dialogically to ensure contributions on topics and monthly themes are represented in ways that reflect our shared values and commitment to equitable, critical and informative, participation. We understand how important it is to be able to discuss societal matters around education, from different angles, to disrupt the status quo and develop criticality on the present and beyond, to explore the potential of affirmative spaces for action, activity and resistance. Contributions can take multiple forms, providing an opportunity to establish your own expressive code, language and reflexive activity.
Our editorial process is founded on a dialogic and constructive activity between two or more members who are passionate about a theme, have lived experience of a particular context, culture, position and/or issue. We work together to ensure ideas and topics (which may be controversial) are respected and treated with sensitive and ethical regard, through honest, constructive feedback and mutuality, at each stage of the editorial process through to publication on this website.
