We are pleased to announce the launch of Currere and Praxis (C&P), a new scholarly journal dedicated to advancing curriculum studies through autobiographical inquiry and reflective practice. This inaugural issue establishes our commitment to exploring the dynamic intersections between lived experience, educational theory, and pedagogical transformation.
C&P serves as an association-affiliated publication of the Association for the Advancement of Interdisciplinary Education Studies (AAIDES). The journal provides a platform for scholars, educators, and practitioners to engage with curriculum studies through the lens of personal narrative and critical reflection, drawing on the currere method as both theoretical framework and methodological approach.
Our inaugural issue showcases the international scope and interdisciplinary nature of curriculum inquiry. Contributors examine how personal educational journeys intersect with broader questions of identity, culture, and social transformation. From artistic exploration of teaching identity to narrative approaches to difficult memories, from cross-cultural interpretations of currere to fictional representations of educational liberation, these articles demonstrate the rich possibilities that emerge when scholars bring their lived experiences into dialogue with curriculum theory.
The issue features work spanning multiple continents and contexts, including contributions from Brazil, China, Mexico, Chile, and Turkey. These diverse perspectives illuminate how autobiography and curriculum intersect across different educational traditions and cultural frameworks, while maintaining focus on the universal dimensions of educational experience and personal transformation.
We invite readers to explore how these scholars use currere as both method and framework for understanding the complex relationships between past experiences, present circumstances, and future possibilities in education. The journal welcomes submissions that advance curriculum studies through autobiographical inquiry, narrative research, and reflective practice.
The inaugural issue is available at https://journals.symphonypub.com/index.php/cp. We encourage engagement with these foundational contributions as we establish this forum for curriculum scholarship.
Our gratitude extends to the editorial board, contributing authors, and anonymous reviewers whose expertise has shaped this inaugural collection.
