The Journal of Language, Identity, and Education is a quarterly journal devoted to innovative and rigorous research and critical scholarship that helps define and advance inquiry concerned with intersecting issues related to language, identity, and education. We are very excited about the potential of this journal to shape an interdisciplinary field of inquiry which heretofore has not had its own publication but has only been reflected in multiple journals. The Journal of Language, Identity, and Education will include articles and book reviews. All articles will be peer reviewed by members of the Editorial Advisory Board and external reviewers, and will reflect the highest standards of scholarship. One issue each year will be on a special topic with an invited guest editor. The first call for papers will go out in January 2001. Vol. I, No. 1 will appear early in 2002.
