Multiculturalism in Higher Education
Theme Guest Editor: Dr. Melanie E. L. Bush, Adelphi University
Submission Deadline: September 1, 2006
Publication Date: December 31, 2006


Over the last several decades significant changes have been made to 
curriculum within institutions of higher education in response to demands by 
traditionally marginalized communities for representation, inclusion and 
balance in perspective, content, pedagogy and program. Within the scope of 
the broad theme of "Multiculturalism in Higher Education," articles and 
instructional ideas may include, but not be limited to: narratives about the 
curricular transformation process, current status at particular 
institutions, analysis about where we stand today and commentary about the 
future, critical perspectives about the social and political context of 
multicultural education, efforts to increase faculty diversity, pedagogical 
strategies and practice, and research conducted about the current state of 
diversity in higher education and the implications. How does the study of 
and engagement in projects for social justice fit within the academic 
project? Articles related to academia in the United States and globally are 
welcome.
