eJournal of Public Affairs Call for Papers: Special Issue on “Forging Civic Pathways”

The eJournal of Public Affairs will be including multimedia presentation submissions for a Special Issue publication. By videographing interviews and programs, the special issue will focus on the topic of “Forging Civic Pathways for Students between our Institutions.” This topic will be the focus of the American Democracy Project’s annual national meeting in Louisville, Kentucky June 5-7, 2014.

Along with videography, the special issue will include scholarly essays, which address the ways we foster and build more coherent civic learning and engagement experiences for students on university campuses. We urge you to submit your subjects and essays to be included in this effort.

The eJournal of Public Affairs is a peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary, open-access electronic journal published by Missouri State University in partnership with the American Democracy Project. For this special issue, the eJournal requests submissions that report on projects and approaches that foster and build more coherent civic learning and engagement experiences for students on university campuses.
