From the Editor: Choosing Solidarity versus Contest

Abstract

Guest editor of this issue Prof. Guy Senese has provided a call for paper at the start of his study and shared it in some communities. At the end we concluded with the strong papers what we are looking for to share. A description about the papers and the motivation of the special issue can be traced at his editorial piece. (Senese, G. (2020). Editorial: Learning Friendship: Critical Education and Community, Political and Personal. International Journal of Educational Policies. Vol.13(2),
pp.87-94. Professor Senese (2020) has mentioned the studies and their stories in his editorial piece at earlier issue of IJEP (Vol 13, No2). At this point, we would like to share a foundational information that IJEP is a bi-lingual journal. Authors can submit English and Turkish manuscripts with a structured English summary. At the next issues, you may see the Turkish papers with the English summaries. We hope that this option can provide a more courage to colleagues and comrades from Turkey about to share their views. At this stage, I should mention that all research papers will be continue to be refereed and editorial evaluations regarding journals’ scope will be applied. We invite all colleagues, educators, teachers, undergraduate and graduate students, researchers to join us as readers, authors and board members to continue and strengthen IJEP.
