the research.
Commentaries
Commentaries are opinion pieces about current issues or specific policies
and programs which focus on urban schools, students or teachers. Commentaries
might also respond to research articles published here or in other electronic
journals. Commentaries should be grounded in research, theory or practice.
We encourage the submission of commentaries which are of varied length
and style. Commentaries will be posted soon after they are accepted.

We welcome reviews of books, websites, or documentaries which address
issues in urban education. The reviewer should describe the content of
the book, site, or documentary and then assess its contribution to scholarship,
research or practice. Ideas for reviews will be proposed by editors, but
should also be initiated by readers. Please email the editors with ideas
for reviews prior to writing so that we can avoid duplicate submissions.
Reviews will be posted soon after they are accepted.
