Studies in Art Education – Call for Submissions
This special issue of Studies in Art Education explores art education research and practices that engage with human lives beyond human centrality and invites art educators to engage with human experiences that are entangled with, or confronted by, nonhuman and more-than-human ecologies. This includes, but is not limited to, ecological systems, environmental matters, and human relationships with nonhuman beings. These engagements may be pedagogical, artistic, and interdisciplinary practices of inquiry in the context of art education.
Submission Deadline: January 20, 2026
Publication Date: November 2026

Questions authors might consider when developing content include:
