College Journal
This design team aimed to re-design the goals and scopes of the Borderlands journal. With this purpose, they re-defined the different sections of the journal to provide clear guidelines for the prospective editors, board members, authors, and audience of Borderlands. The re-defined sections and descriptions include Borderlands of Practice; Multilingual, Transnational Literacies, and Multicultural Studies in the Borderlands; Curriculum Dialogues; and Community Voices. They also identified board members for each section. In Fall 2022, this design team aims to re-define the general scopes and goals for the journal; create a plan to incorporate editors, board members, and prospective reviewers; and create a description of the functions of a prospective managing editor for the journal.

Educational Borderlands: A Bilingual Journal (EBBJ) is a new peer-reviewed journal, bilingual in English and Spanish. It is a publication that examines the challenges and possibilities posed by educational borders, both literal and figurative. EBBJ intends to offer a forum for research that addresses educational, cultural and epistemological vitality, including those of bicultural/ multicultural and bilingual/multilingual communities considered in relation to local, national, binational, or transnational educational contexts.
We seek original manuscripts to appear in the second volume of Educational Borderlands. EBBJ presents diverse interdisciplinary research related to formal education, as well as inquiry that locates itself in the borderlands connecting the theory and practice of education to the lived experience of culture, community, family, identity and social justice. The journal highlights the voices of activists, thinkers outside of academia, and creative writers, alongside academic sections devoted to peer-reviewed research.
EBBJ has the following topic threads:
- Community Voices
- Dual Language and Multilingual Studies
- Transnational Curriculum Dialogues
- Borderlands of Practice
- Borderlands of Ability Differences
- Spanish and English Book/Media Reviews
In the spirit of breaking down barriers, every article published in Educational Borderlands is open-access, offered free of charge through free for authors, as we do not charge any publication fees. In addition to academic researchers, the audience of EBBJ includes colleges of education as well as non-profits that serve border regions or marginalized communities.
EBBJ is bilingual by design. We invite submissions in Spanish, or English, or a mixture of both. You can submit a manuscript on our website, https://educationalborderlands-ojs-utrgv.tdl.org/educationalborderlands/about/submissions. Full details on format and scope are available on our website.
