About the Journal

The Journal of Philosophy of Education (JOPE) is the Society’s peer-reviewed journal. The journal is hosted by Oxford University Press, and is accessible here. Electronic access is free to  PESGB members, who may also order a print copy for a nominal charge.

The Journal publishes articles representing a wide variety of philosophical styles and traditions. They range from examination of fundamental philosophical issues in their connection with education to detailed critical engagement with current educational policy and practice from a philosophical point of view. Further details on how to submit articles to the Journal can be found on its webpage

The Journal publishes six issues per year, two are guest-edited Special Issues and one is a guest-edited Policy Special Issue. The Journal also publishes smaller Suites of papers. Suites typically comprise five or six papers on a topic or theme; larger suites may be published across consecutive issues. If you would like to submit a proposal for a Special Issue, Policy Special Issue, or Suite, please send a one-page proposal to the Executive Editor outlining the theme proposed, the editorial arrangements, the likely contributors and their probable topics.  This initial proposal will be reviewed and a response given, with comments or suggestions for development. If the proposal is approved, the Executive Editor and Co-Editors may provide further input as the project develops. All papers submitted will be subject to review.
