>Democracy & Education is a longstanding education journal moving in a new >direction. For the last two years, we have been on hiatus, working to >refocus the journal on scholarly issues, engage a new corps of scholars >in this conversation, and rework our format to accommodate the deeply >engaged dialog we believe is critical to any democracy and to all forms >of education. > > > >Our first issue in the new format is available now, and we invite you to >explore at: http://democracyeducationjournal.org/home. > > > >-Our Focus- > >The mission of Democracy & Education is to provoke rigorous, open, and >inclusive engagement with the challenges of educating youth in the > >pre-K-12 age span for active participation in a democratic society.
