Education and Conflict Review (ECR) focuses on debates about education, conflict and international development and aims to provide succinct analyses of social, political, economic and security dimensions in conflict-affected and humanitarian situations. ECR provides a forum for knowledge exchange to build synergies between academics, practitioners and graduate students who are researching and working on educational issues in these environments. 

Unlike conventional academic papers, the ECR provides a space for short original contributions (3500-4000 words including references) that draw upon empirical work or present thought-provoking theoretical arguments in the subfield of education and conflict. 

Call for papers: Special issue on Myanmar

This special issue of ECR will focus on education in contexts of conflict and forced displacement in Myanmar. We encourage submissions based on collaborative research between Myanmar academics/practitioners and international researchers.

This special issue of ECR will be co-edited by Professor Tejendra Pherali (IOE, UCL’s Faculty of Education and Society) and a team of local academics to bring together a broad range of empirical research, rigorous reviews, and theoretical/conceptual analyses that focus on teaching and learning in Myanmar amid protracted conflict.

Focus areas include but are not limited to:

  • The role(s) of non-state education providers
  • Resilience and adaptability
  • Access to accredited non-state higher education
  • Community engagement and empowerment
  • Conflict-sensitive education and innovative solutions in conflict-settings
  • Psychosocial and emotional wellbeing of students and teachers
  • Teacher professional development
