Enhancing learning and teaching about mental health across the disciplines
Volume 1 Issue 1
Deadline: 5 April 2013
The Editorial Board are delighted to announce the first call for papers or other contributions for Volume 1 Issue 1 of the new Journal of Perspectives in Applied Academic Practice.
The Journal of Perspectives in Applied Academic Practice (JPAAP) is an open access e-journal of research and practice development in higher and further education. The journal aims to provide a publishing outlet to allow authors to contribute to the scholarly discourse of academic practice in their discipline through publication. The themes of the Journal therefore reflect the breadth of perspectives in academic practice from a wide variety of disciplinary lenses. An explicit aim of the journal is to provide support for early career researchers and those publishing on the topic of academic practice for the first time, although submissions are welcomed from authors both new and experienced alike. All submissions will be subject to open peer review (minimum of two reviewers) and will be included on merit.
The Journal welcomes submissions of original research articles (including pedagogic research), reflective analyses, review papers and opinion pieces. Journal of Perspectives in Applied Academic Practice accepts submissions in a variety of formats including multimedia. If considering a submission in a non-traditional paper format authors are invited to contact a member of the Editorial Board to discuss the propose format prior to submission.
Author guidelines and selection policies are available at: jpaap.napier.ac.uk
To discuss proposed submissions or for further information please contact jpaap@napier.ac.uk

In line with the Journal of Perspectives in Applied Academic Practice’s stated aim of providing a supportive publishing outlet for new authors/researchers we would like to recruit new reviewers to join the core reviewer pool.

Successful applicants will serve for a period of two years with new reviewers recruited on an annual basis. Individuals wishing to discuss the role in more details or wishing to apply should contact jpaap@napier.ac.uk and include an abbreviated CV (max 2 sides A4) and a supporting statement.

Medical discourse currently dominates as the defining framework for madness in educational praxis. Consequently, ideas rooted in a mental health/illness binary abound in higher learning, as both curriculum content and through institutional procedures that reinforce structures of normalcy. While madness, then, is included in university spaces, this inclusion proceeds in ways that continue to pathologize madness and disenfranchise mad people.
