Submission guidelines

We are pleased to announce the call for manuscripts for the book series entitled Emerald Critical Studies in Inclusion, Practice, and Impact. This series serves as an ideal platform and outlet for ground-breaking research, case studies, and new critical insights in the field of inclusion and practice, offering a primary platform for the rapid dissemination of world-leading research.

The Emerald Critical Studies in Inclusion, Practice, and Impact series seeks to attract both early career and established researchers who are producing innovative and cutting-edge research on inclusion and its impact. We invite contributions from scholars working in the field of inclusion research and practice, as well as academics from the higher education sector in the UK and around the world. By including diverse perspectives, we aim to ensure that the series appeals to global audiences in both the global North and South.

The series publishes a combination of cutting-edge research that focuses on how to implement and measure impactful inclusion in various contexts, ranging from applied and theoretical frameworks to comparative studies. This comprehensive approach aims to fill the current gap in research-informed and evaluated guidance on inclusion in higher education and related industries and communities. By providing a collection of critical case studies, the series offers new insights into equity and inequity, serving as a valuable resource for practitioners interested in making their sectors and practices more inclusive.

A unique aspect of this series is the format of the published books. We would like each contribution to explicitly address theory, application, and provide a thorough discussion on ""how to"" model inclusion or assess its impact. To ensure consistency, we invite authors to present each manuscript will follow the following structure:

• The first section of each text will focus on discussing the knowledge and theory within which the case study is situated.
• The middle section will delve into the empirical application, findings, and comprehensive discussions.
• The final section or chapter will explicitly and expansively discuss the generation of recommendations as policy briefs and reflections on what works for facilitating explicit change in practice, cultures, and policy.

We kindly invite you to submit your manuscript for consideration in the Emerald Critical Studies in Inclusion, Practice, and Impact series. We encourage original research, case studies, and theoretical contributions that advance the understanding of inclusion and its practical implementation. Submissions should be prepared according to the guidelines.
