Aim and Scope

The Journal of International Interdisciplinary Literacy is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal with no publication fees. The journal is published twice a year and encourages authors to submit works in any language. To encourage the accessibility of submissions to multiple audiences, the journal includes interviews with authors about their work as well as media files of authors reading their manuscripts. Subtitles are provided for this media in order to increase access. Users of the journal website can experience aspects of the journal in writing, audio clips, visual clips, and visual formats. The journal illustrates intersectionality among multiple audiences and opens doors for knowledge producers. Its aim is to build bridges across cultures, contexts, and disciplines by exploring literacies and languages from birth through adulthood.

Authors may submit their work using diverse and innovative modalities in the language they prefer. Authors are invited to share their work using formats that include audio and video files, artwork, personal narratives, qualitative and quantitative research, as well as any other original format. Reviewers represent voices and experiences from a variety of disciplines, fields, languages, and geographic locations.

The Journal of International Interdisciplinary Literacy draws from the life experiences of authors worldwide to understand and illustrate complexities of shifting borders, boundaries, and barriers across languages, literacies, and disciplines. The journal seeks to re-envision, re-conceptualize, navigate, and negotiate borders across languages and communities. The journal encourages authors to consider how literacy and language practices in different contexts inform each other.
