Call for articles
This is a first call for articles to be submitted for Journal editions 113 and 114.
Continuing our 40th anniversary celebrations this year, we are dedicating three editions of the Journal to RaPAL past, present and future and we would love you to be part of them. Volume 112 (Autumn/Winter 2025) is currently in production and will focus on how the concept of adult literacy / literacies has developed over the decades.
Volume 113 (Spring/Summer 2026) : Literacy in different contexts, including imaginative projects from past and present. We may not know about present initiatives unless we hear from our members, so please let us know about exciting developments in your area. Even if you are not sure about writing something yourself, please get in touch at journal@rapal.org.uk and we can have a discussion about it.
Volume 114 (Autumn/Winter 2026) : A look to the future, including digital literacies and artificial intelligence. How do you see future ways of teaching and learning changing? What are your and your teams' plans?
-
We are keen to include any articles for these last two editions that are suitable for peer-review. Let us know your ideas as soon as possible to give us plenty of time to prepare.
-
We would also like to include any memories or testimonials that you may have about any of the founder members or anyone who has contributed towards RaPAL in any significant way, including photographs if you have any.
Finally, Toni Lambe has offered to run another two "Write for us" online support sessions. The first of these will cover sections one and two of the Journal and be run on Monday 1st December at 7.00 to 7.30 pm over Zoom. If you are interested in attending please email Toni directly on toni.elambe@gmail.com and she will send the link.
The second will cover writing peer-reviewed articles and will take place in early December, date to be confirmed.
Please note also that we are always needing volunteer editors, with or without experience. Support for new writers and editors is always available.
