EDITORIAL SCOPE + Guidelines
Diaspora, Indigenous, and Minority Education: An International Journal 
(DIME)

A quarterly peer-reviewed journal focused on critical discourse and 
research in
diaspora, indigenous, and minority education – is dedicated to 
enhancing
cultural sustainability in a world increasingly consolidating under 
national,
transnational, and global organizations. It aims to draw attention to, 
and learn
from, the many initiatives being conducted around the globe in support of
diaspora, indigenous, and minority education, which might otherwise go
unnoticed.

DIME invites research from a variety of theoretical and methodological
perspectives that emphasize the centrality of marginal voices and a 
peripheral
gaze, and which draw attention to the complex interrelations between 
political,
economic, historical, and social contexts, as well as the ways in which 
these
various contexts shape educational policies, practices, curricula, and 
outcomes.
The journal welcomes articles that ground theoretical reflections in 
specific
empirical research and case studies of diverse locations and peoples as yet
underrepresented within scholarly research and literature, as well as 
action or
participatory research studies of exemplary or “best” practices.

Intended to bridge arbitrary disciplinary boundaries in which such 
research and
theorizing are currently conducted, DIME encourages cutting-edge work from
around the world to enhance understanding of the relationships between 
home and
school cultures; educational development, curriculum, and cultural change;
local, regional, national, and/or transnational forces or institutions; 
culture,
ethnicity, and gender in identity construction; migration and educational
change; and societal attitudes and cultural variation.

AUDIENCE
International researchers, teaching professionals and educators, students,
community activists and advocates, and policy and program specialists 
involved
in multicultural education, bilingual education, global/international 
education,
migration, diaspora, and immigration studies, and cross-cultural studies, as
well as all others who share an interest in educational issues that impact
diaspora, indigenous, and minority populations. DIME aims to be of 
service to
these individuals, groups, agencies, and institutions by offering a 
common forum
for sharing their work. Submission Guidelines:

Manuscripts. Submissions to this category must be original research 
involving
either empirical or analytical (conceptual) research, framed within a
well-developed theoretical context. The manuscript should be
double-spaced including title page, text, tables, charts, references,
notes, and appendixes and must adhere to the guidelines of the Publication
Manual of the American Psychological Association (5th ed.). The first page
should include the title, name(s), and affiliation(s) of author(s) and full
contact addresses for correspondence (including e-mail). The second page 
should
include the title (but no author identification), an abstract of not 
more that
150 words, a list of up to 6 key words, and a word count. Use either 
American or
British spelling consistently within an article. Manuscripts must be
single-sided, typed on 8½" x 11" or A4 paper and should not exceed 8,000 
words
in length (including references, notes, and tables). Minimize the number of
notes. Direct quotation in another original language should be followed
immediately by the English translation. That said, we will consider 
innovative
alternative formats if appropriate and well-executed. Tables and figures 
should
be placed after the references, each labeled and on a separate page. 
Placement
of each table and figure in manuscript should be marked. Figures in 
manuscripts
accepted for publication must be submitted in camera-ready form. A list of
acceptable file formats will be provided.

reflections on a key issue in the field. Possible topics include current 
issues
in the field affecting research (methodology), theory, policy, educational
administration, or curriculum and pedagogy. This category of submission also
includes critical reflections on a previously published article in the 
journal;
in this case, the author of the original article will be invited to 
respond in
1,000 words. Critical reflection pieces should follow the submission 
guidelines
