Journal Guide

Christianity is becoming a truly world religion, rather than a European/Western religion whose forms have been imposed on other cultures of the world. As a consequence, new, incultured forms of Christianity are emerging, and these are being analysed, described, and argued for and against by Christians and other students of religion in each culture. The result is new developments in theology, Scripture studies, church history, morality and religious studies; from all of which there is much to be learned, especially in the West. And yet activists in one culture often do not know what is being done in another culture. Indeed, exponents of one of the disciplinary areas above often do not know what is developing in this way in a cognate area. Hence the need for a truly intercultural, interdisciplinary journal. It is this need that Studies in World Christianity is designed to meet, and does so with increasing and acknowledged success.

Studies in the Education of Adults is an international journal for theorising and critically examining the education of adults in all contexts. The journal seeks to foster and stimulate a global community of academics and researchers with a broad interest in research in the education of adults. It is equally focused on adult learning, the nature of adult curriculum and on the role of the educator. Adult learning may occur in institutional, professional and community settings including colleges, universities, the workplace, trade unions and voluntary organisations. Adult learning may also occur in a wide variety of contexts such as the home, public spaces, through leisure activities, social movements and virtual media. We encourage submissions that examine learning in these various contexts. The Editorial Board is also keen to promote the role of adult learning and education in social justice.

We encourage writers from a broad range of ideological interests, theoretical positions and research traditions and we especially welcome multidisciplinary research. We will promote the thematic exploration of specific areas as well as the exploration of new territories for adult education. We invite readers with an interest in developing a themed issue to submit outline proposals for consideration to the editors.

Studies... selects papers for publication that:

      •   Provide a clear theoretical rationale for the work discussed;

Peer Review Policy:

Studies in the History of Gardens & Designed Landscapes addresses itself to readers with a serious interest in the subject, and is now established as the main place in which to publish scholarly work on all aspects of garden history. The journal's main emphasis is on detailed and documentary analysis of specific sites in all parts of the world, with focus on both design and reception. The journal is also specifically interested in garden and landscape history as part of wider contexts such as social and cultural history and geography, aesthetics, technology, (most obviously horticulture), presentation and conservation. From time to time issues are centered around themes, for example, the Anglo-Dutch garden in the age of William and Mary, eighteenth-century gardens of the Chesapeake, gardens of the Ancient Mediterranean, or rediscovering the British garden. The Journal publishes reviews and review essays of important literature. Peer Review Policy: All research articles published in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymized refereeing.
