Aims & Scope

Cultural Studies of Science Education is a peer reviewed journal that provides an interactive platform for researchers working in the multidisciplinary fields of cultural studies and science education. By taking a cultural approach and paying attention to theories from cultural studies, this new journal reflects the current diversity in the study of science education in a variety of contexts, including schools, museums, zoos, laboratories, parks and gardens, aquariums and community development, maintenance and restoration. This journal focuses on science education as a cultural, cross-age, cross-class, and cross-disciplinary phenomenon; publishes articles that have an explicit and appropriate connection with and immersion in cultural studies; seeks articles that have theory development as an integral aspect of the data presentation; establishes bridges between science education and social studies of science, public understanding of science, science/technology and human values, and science and literacy; builds new communities at the interface of currently distinct discourses; aims to be a catalyst that forges new genres of and for scholarly dissemination; provides an interactive dialogue that includes the editors, members of the review board, and selected international scholars; publishes manuscripts that encompass all forms of scholarly activity; includes research articles, essays, OP-ED, critical, comments, criticisms and letters on emerging issues of significance.
