Full Instructions for Making a Submission

The Wabash Center is rebooting the Journal on Teaching (JoT) into a multi-modal academic journal. Each issue is theme driven and includes various forms of media—such as articles, poetry, visual art, videos of performing arts, and music—in service to critical reflection on teaching. As we aim to expand the traditional boundaries of scholarly writing, we remain focused on the scholarship of teaching in the fields of religious and theological studies, in both undergraduate and graduate educational contexts.

The deadline for submissions for Volume 3 Issue 2  is August 1, 2022.

Please send any inquiries to:
Donald E. Quist, JoT Editor

Submission will trigger an auto-email confirmation.
If you do not receive the email, check your email spam filter and allow the sender.
