Special Issue of PSIE: Interrogating Postdigital Educational Conditions

We are excited to announce a call for proposals for a special issue of Philosophical Studies in Education. This is a first for our journal, and coincides with the 50th anniversary of PSIE. There will be a pre-conference workshop for the accepted proposals, and accepted papers will be published in a special issue of PSIE, guest edited by Morgan Anderson and Graham B. Slater. To be clear, the special issue will be published in addition to and separate from our annual issue of PSIE, which will also be published this year. Click below on "learn more" to see the full call.
