Editorial Board Members for the Journal of Adventure Education and Outdoor Learning
Editorial Board Members are expected to review 3-4 articles per year (which are often those that require a quick turnaround or where an Associate Editor has had trouble finding suitable reviewers), attend two Board meetings (online), and act as a strong champion/ambassador for the Journal.
The Journal of Adventure Education & Outdoor Learning is an official publication of the Institute for Outdoor Learning and has a strong reputation across a variety of metrics. The main purpose of the journal is to provide a central point and place of reference for the publication and dissemination of research and scholarship on adventure and the outdoors for learning and education.
The journal aims to promote dialogue, research, thinking, teaching and practice from critical perspectives in the fields of adventure education and outdoor learning. It intends to publish papers concerned with social, cultural, political, ethical and environmental issues in the outdoor studies field.
