Call for 'hot topics' articles

We're inviting rural education researchers to submit contributions to a set of papers we are calling 'hot topics'. These are issues that just don't go away, and which we think will make a difference to the evidence base for rural education in Australia and the region. Policy topics listed below are often in the news, and are presented as policy problems by the media. But what does the evidence have to say about these issues? Theory topics, similarly, are about the enduring challenges of rural education from a theory perspective. We invite theoretical discussion papers that delve deeply into the issues outlined.

Papers will be prioritised for publication in the first available issue, in a new section called 'hot topics'. The same author guidelines apply as for journal articles.
