Middle Eastern Literatures is endorsed by the Union Europ233;nne des Arabisants et Islamisants (UEAI) and Classical Arabic Poetry Symposium (CAPS), and provides a forum for the academic study of all Middle Eastern literatures. Works on literature composed in, for example, Persian, Turkish, post-Biblical and modern Hebrew, Kurdish, or Urdu are welcomed. Regional literatures of the area, such as the Arabic, French, and Tamazight ("Berber") literature from North Africa, also fall within the scope of the journal. The editors welcome high quality scholarly contributions (in English, French, or German) devoted to aspects of either one or several of the literatures of the Middle East, whether classical or modern.Our project is eclectic. Middle Eastern Literatures encourages studies of a cross- and multi-linguistic nature that focus on East-West (and/or East-East) relations. Articles that examine the relationship of literature with other arts and media (visual arts, music, theatre, and film) will also be welcomed. The editors encourage the submission of translations of literary texts, accompanied by an introduction and full bibliographical details. From time to time, the journal will publish special issues focusing on a particular aspect of the literatures of the Middle East.In a wider sense, our project aims at broadening available networks of communication. The journal hopes to promote a dialogue between scholars of Middle Eastern literatures and their colleagues working in other academic disciplines and world regions, and particularly those who are engaged in the study of other literatures (Western and non-Western alike). The aim is to foster an active exchange of views and information. To that end the journal will provide regular bibliographies of books and articles and will maintain a comprehensive book review section.Peer Review StatementAll submissions to Middle Eastern Literatures are subject to a rigorous peer-review process. They are read initially by at least one of the editors and then passed on normally to two members of the editorial board, or its advisory board, or external specialists.DisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.

Arts Education Policy Review ( AEPR) presents discussion of major policy issues in arts education in the United States and throughout the world. Addressing education in music, visual arts, theatre, and dance, the journal presents a variety of views and emphasizes critical analysis. Its goal is to produce the most comprehensive and rigorous exchange of ideas available on arts education policy. Policy examinations from multiple viewpoints are a valuable resource not only for arts educators, but also for administrators, policy analysts, advocacy groups, parents, and audiences—all those involved in the arts and concerned about their role in education.

AEPR focuses on analyses and recommendations focused on policy. The goal of any article should not be description or celebration (although reports of successful programs could be part of an article). Any article focused on a program (or programs) should address why something works or does not work, how it works, how it could work better, and most important, what various policy stakeholders (from teachers to legislators) can do about it.

AEPR does not promote individuals, institutions, methods, or products. It does not aim to repeat commonplace ideas. Editors want articles that show originality, probe deeply, and take discussion beyond common wisdom and familiar rhetoric. Articles that merely restate the importance of arts education, call attention to the existence of issues long since addressed, or repeat standard solutions will not be accepted.
