Article 13: Dedication: A Role Model and Inspiration: Emerging Researchers Papers

This volume marks the introductory year for a special section in the American Educational History Journal (AEHJ). Each year, AEHJ will feature from one to four papers submitted by graduate students. Inspired by the teaching and mentoring of Donald Warren (emeritus professor, Indiana University) the inclusion of graduate-student papers builds upon the Organization of Educational Historians’ long tradition of encouraging aspiring scholars. Consequently, this section will be appropriately titled, “Donal Warren Emerging Researchers Papers.”

Competition for this publication opportunity is open to graduate-level students in any area of educational foundations. There is no expectation that papers be historical in topic or methodology. A submitted paper may treat any topic that falls within the scope of education broadly conceived as cultural formation (by whatever means, institutional or informal). The methodology chosen should be appropriate for the paper’s self-declared purpose. Papers should be 2,500–5,000 words in length (not including reference list). Formatting should reflect AEHJ publication guidelines (i.e., Chicago Style Manual, 17th Edition).
