Public Resistance seeks manuscripts

The editors of this on-line journal seek manuscripts that critically 
examine and
expose the lies perpetuated in the larger neo-liberal and right wing 
assaults on
democracy and the public sphere. Authors must demonstrate genuine 
academic rigor
in addressing specific sets of lies and deceptions currently used to 
manufacture
consent for increasingly draconian domestic policies and imperialistic 
foreign
policies. We are soliciting submissions that are not simply based on 
opinion or
conjecture. What is significant to changing public opinion and public 
policy is
academically grounded and sound research.

Unlike federal funding agencies, we do not restrict research to 
"experimental
design." On the contrary, we heartily encourage humanities based, arts 
based,
narrative, ethnographic (including autoethnography), visual, cyborgian 
and other
methodological approaches. Submissions are welcomed from across the academic
disciplines, and we encourage the submission of interdisciplinary and
transdisciplinary works. We also solicit articles that can document this
traumatic and critical juncture in both American and world history and 
culture.
Therefore, submissions from teachers, students, citizen groups, and teacher
educators are encouraged.
