CALL FOR PAPERS--SERVICE LEARNING IN THEHUMANITIES
The Fall 2012 issue of the journal Interdisciplinary Humanities will be a special issue on service-learning
in the humanities. The editors welcome submissions of articles, essays, and reflective pieces on service-
learning from various points of view: students, faculty, agency mentors, and higher-education and non-
profit community administration and staff. Documents may focus on studies, theory, practice,
interdisciplinary collaboration, and school-community partnerships as they apply to service-learning. The
co-editors for this special issue are Isabel Baca (University of Texas-El Paso) and Joana Owens
(Jacksonville University). Send inquiries and papers to Isabel Baca at: [email protected] and Joana
Owens: [email protected]. Submission Deadline: May 1, 2012
More Information on Interdisciplinary Humanities : Interdisciplinary Humanities is a refereed scholarly
journal, published three times a year by the Humanities Education and Research Association (HERA).
The journal accepts articles that deal with "any learning activities with content that draws upon the humancultural heritage, methods that derive from the humanistic disciplines, and a purpose that is concerned
with human values." Articles dealing with the interdisciplinary humanities or humanities education at all
levels (K-12, college, and adult learning) are welcome, as are creative works of poetry, fiction and non-
fiction that reflect the journal's interests and the themes of specific issues. For more information about
IH's sponsoring organization, see HERA's website at: http://www.h-e-r-a.org
Submission Guidelines: Interdisciplinary Humanities defines “interdisciplinary humanities education” as
any learning activities with content that draws upon the human cultural heritage, methods that derive from
the humanistic disciplines, and a purpose that is concerned with human values. Academic courses don’t
have to be labeled “humanities” to be interdisciplinary. Integrated courses and units are often disguised
under such names as World History, Freshman English, Music Appreciation, Beginning Spanish,
Introduction to Religion, Senior Honors, etc. Integration can range from the use of a novel in a history
course to team teaching to comprehensive thematic extravaganzas that combine the arts, literature,
philosophy, and social sciences. We welcome manuscripts from university colleagues, but also ones that
examine interdisciplinary scholarship and education in elementary grades, teacher education, adult public
programs, graduate seminars, educational radio and television, museums, and historic parks. More
detailed information on submission guidelines can be found at http://www.h-e-r-a.org/hera_journal.htm
Editorial decisions for publication are normally made within four months following submissions.
Upcoming and proposed editions of Interdisciplinary Humanities are subject to change without notice.
Send inquiries and papers to Isabel Baca at: [email protected] and Joana Owens: [email protected].
