About the Journal
The International Journal of Education (JOE) is a peer-reviewed journal of the Comparative Heritage Project (CHP) devoted to rigorous, internationally engaged scholarship. The journal is dedicated to advancing critical and original research in education, with particular attention to teaching, learning, curriculum, educational institutions, pedagogy, policy, technology, and lifelong learning. It provides an international forum for examining how scholarship in this field develops knowledge, informs professional and public conversations, and responds to emerging questions.
Guided by intellectual rigor, methodological diversity, and a commitment to global scholarly dialogue, the Journal of Education encourages research that crosses disciplinary boundaries, tests established assumptions, and brings diverse intellectual traditions into productive conversation. The journal seeks to cultivate innovative scholarship that clarifies major questions in education, strengthens methodological exchange, and contributes to understanding contemporary conditions as well as future possibilities.
Through the JDONS publication program, JOE serves as a platform for advancing scholarship in education and for fostering international collaboration among scholars, professionals, researchers, policymakers, educators, and knowledge practitioners. The journal is intended to support sustained scholarly exchange across regions, institutions, methodological traditions, and professional communities.
The scope of JOE extends across teaching, learning, curriculum, educational institutions, pedagogy, policy, technology, and lifelong learning. Research may engage theoretical, empirical, comparative, historical, computational, experimental, interpretive, applied, or practice-based approaches, as appropriate to the subject. The journal welcomes scholarship that places specialized research within broader cultural, social, scientific, technological, environmental, institutional, or policy contexts and encourages meaningful connections with adjacent fields.

Contributions are encouraged to engage one or more of the journal's stated foci while remaining open to emerging subjects, innovative methodologies, comparative perspectives, and questions not yet adequately represented in the literature. JOE welcomes work from humanities, social sciences, sciences, professional fields, and related interdisciplinary areas.
The journal particularly values comparative and transdisciplinary work with global reach that critically examines the major intellectual, practical, and societal questions associated with education. Particular emphasis is placed on research that foregrounds diverse perspectives, including Indigenous, Global South, decolonial, comparative, community-based, and underrepresented knowledge traditions where relevant, while encouraging meaningful engagement across academic disciplines, geographic contexts, and forms of expertise.
