About the Journal

Civic and Citizenship Education Review (CCER) is an interdisciplinary scholarly journal that provides a forum for the discussion, analysis, and dissemination of research in civic education and citizenship education. The journal focuses on educational, social, political, legal, cultural, ethical, and technological dimensions of citizenship learning and development in local, national, regional, and global contexts.

CCER encourages submissions from across the fields of education, social sciences, humanities, law, political science, sociology, anthropology, psychology, philosophy, history, communication, and educational technology. The journal welcomes empirical, theoretical, conceptual, critical, and methodological studies that examine civic knowledge, civic skills, civic dispositions, civic engagement, civic responsibility, civic identity, and civic action in formal, non-formal, informal, and digital learning environments.

The journal is particularly interested in studies that connect theory, policy, and practice in civic and citizenship education, including research involving learners, teachers, teacher educators, parents, communities, civil society organizations, policymakers, and professional groups. CCER also welcomes proposals for special issues that address contemporary and emerging topics relevant to civic and citizenship education.

  • Civic education and citizenship education

The journal does not normally publish manuscripts on political, legal, historical, philosophical, religious, or cultural themes that do not have a clear educational, developmental, pedagogical, or citizenship-related component. Manuscripts that are purely opinion-based, partisan, propagandistic, or not grounded in scholarly inquiry are outside the scope of the journal.
