The JEAF Annual Review of Books

The Journal of Educational Administration and Foundations (JEAF) is accepting book review proposals for its latest editorial development: The JEAF Annual Review of Books. This special issue of the journal focuses exclusively on reviews of recently published books on the fields of educational administration, philosophy of education, sociology of education, history of education, indigenous education, comparative education, and contemporary issues in education. This is the first special issue of this nature published by JEAF. We aim to make this publication a yearly event. We seek reviews that provide a critical evaluation of the book’s contents, offering insights into the main arguments, implications, and general value of the work for scholars and/or practitioners.
