The Journal of Educational Controversy, is a  peer-refereed journal, published semiannually by the Center for Educational Pluralism of the Woodring College of Education at Western Washington University. The journal publishes primarily original essays in response to the dilemma or controversy announced in the theme for the issue. Readers are invited to submit articles (any length up to 7500 words) as well as reactions and commentary (up to 1500 words) on the articles previously published for our Rejoinder Section.  The latter will also undergo a refereed process and will be published on an ongoing basis as long as the conversation continues.

The Journal of Educational Controversy raises controversies that result from teaching and learning in a pluralistic, democratic society. Contributions from all disciplines are welcomed. Authors should submit reflective, high quality essays that respond to the dilemma with the tools of their discipline, but written in a way that the general audience outside of their discipline can understand.
