Our journal welcomes material which may not need to go through the full-blind peer review process. Usually, these kinds of submissions occur through direct communication between authors and editors. Authors will be requested to revise and edit their submissions to make them suitable for our journal and readership. Here are examples of some of the kinds of non-peer-reviewed contributions we tend to publish:

1. Analysis/commentary (4000-6000 words) of significant education policy and political developments
2. Film/documentary reviews (1500-2000 words) related to educational issues, policies, developments
3. Stories of education activism and social movements (1500-2500 words): Sharing what’s happening in social movement and community organising spaces in your country, region, city that activists and scholars elsewhere might be able to learn from.
4. Teaching/research notes (1000-3000 words): These are brief notes relating to particular types of pedagogical and research practice which may be of use to others working in the area.
5. Facilitated discussions and interviews (7000-8000 words): These are conversations with people who, either because of language, educational and literacy barriers are not in a position to write formal articles, or not interested in doing so, but whose knowledge, experience, practice and reflection is worth sharing.
6. Responses to articles and debates (length as appropriate): These are usually invited as part of a debate around a particular paper or submitted as a response to a previously published paper. In the latter case, the author of the original paper will normally be given the opportunity to respond.

These guidelines were inspired and adapted from Interface: journal for and about social movements.
