Call for Essays: Academic Repression & Human Rights



Peace Review, a Routledge/Taylor & Francis quarterly, multidisciplinary,
transnational journal of research and analysis, welcomes original
contributions, policy analyses, and research for a special issue addressing
the intersection of international academic repression and human rights.
Essays exploring the widest range of topics relating to the theme are
invited, in particular those exploring the application of human rights
practices and strategies to situations involving the most severe threats to
academic freedom-such as threats to life or liberty experienced in
repressive, conflict and post-conflict societies.  Possible topics include,
but are not limited to:



-        Legal/human rights standards, techniques & strategies as related
to academic freedom

-        Identification/measurement of threats to academic freedom &
institutional autonomy

-        Impact of political, economic & social factors on academic freedom
and human rights

-        Historical or regional perspectives on academic freedom and
institutional autonomy

-        Academic freedom, autonomy and human rights in conflict and
post-conflict settings

-        Population mobility, academic freedom and human rights

-        Higher education, globalization and human rights

-        Impact of democracy on higher education, academic freedom & human
rights

-        Terrorism, security and higher education

-        Toward the 22nd Century-the future of academic freedom & human rights



Peace Review publishes essays on ideas and research in peace studies,
broadly defined. Our essays are relatively short (2500-3500 words), and are
intended for a wide readership. We are most interested in the cultural and
political issues surrounding conflicts occurring between nations and
peoples. Since we are a transnational journal (we distribute to more than
40 nations), we want to avoid speaking with the voice of any particular
national culture or politics. Relevant topics include war, violence, human
rights, political economy, development, culture and consciousness, the
environment, and related issues. Generally, we do not reprint essays that
have been published elsewhere.



Please send essays on this theme by July 15, 2007. Essays should
run between 2500 and 3500 words, and should be jargon- and footnote-
free. See Submission Guidelines at:
