Process Papers is an occasional publication in journal format, sponsored by the Association for Process Philosophy of Education. It invites essays on topics in the philosophy of education, educational theory, and theories and practices regarding pedagogy or curriculum.
Essays should take account of perspectives on learning and its contexts associated with the thought of process philosophers such as Henri Bergson, John Dewey, and Alfred North Whitehead. The influence of process philosophy on an essay may be generic or specific, appreciative or negative, involving faithful exposition, radical reconstruction, or novel invention. An essay may be concerned with primary and secondary education, higher education, or adult education, either within formal schooling structures or in other kinds of learning environments, actual or imagined.
Essays should be addressed to a general readership, one which includes philosophers of education, college and university faculty in any academic field, school teachers with certifications in any subject and at any level K-12, educational administrators in both the public and private sectors—and, of course, the semi-mythical “intelligent layperson” who as parent, citizen, and/or former student is concerned with the current state of education and the possibilities for its improvement. Although most essays will deal explicitly or implicitly with education in the United States and Canada, Process Papers is interested in essays which have other frames of reference, especially those which take a global perspective.
Process Papers expects to publish one issue each year of approximately 100 pages, usually in November. Essays may be submitted to the Editor at any time and will be evaluated by a referee procedure utilizing members of the Board of Trustees of APPE and past contributors to Process Papers. There are no stipulations concerning length, although most essays should run 15-25 pages double-spaced using MLA guidelines for citations. Responses to previously published essays are encouraged; these should usually be 5-10 pages in length. Send two copies of any submission to the editor, George Allan.
