The journal is oriented towards (but not limited to) research on social change, thus imbuing it with a political dimension and purpose. By providing a forum for critical dialogue, it is the intention of this journal to encourage cultural analysis that challenges the ideological fashions and injustices of the day and in doing so, contributes to wider debates and helps to stimulate new and progressive forms of social engagement. Rather than wishing away complexity, it seeks to put forward nuanced, historically-sensitive research that considers the complex transformations that have framed our lives. It asks why things are as they are and how they might be different. At the same time, the journal welcomes research that deals with culture and meaning, focusing on key existential questions with which we are confronted in these uncertain times.
With its emphasis on imaginative work with a critical focus, the European Journal of Education & Language Review seeks to open up debate and discussion across borders and disciplines.
