JEQ publishes original scholarship on all aspects of Jesuit education, seeking both U.S. and international perspectives on Jesuit education, broadly defined. This includes pre-secondary, secondary, and higher education, as well as educational contexts outside of the formal classroom. In its approach, JEQ will center the following:

1. Educational Continuum: JEQ engages the Jesuit educational tradition as a continuum from pre-secondary to higher education and beyond in order to deepen a Jesuit philosophy of education that forms the whole person. We welcome articles and reflection that pertain to education, broadly defined, on any level. 
2. Historiographical Understanding: JEQ explores the past and documents the present in order to better understand the future with regard to the tradition of Jesuit education. As Paul Grendler, a historian of Jesuit education states, “Jesuit educational history is mostly local history.” In this manner, JEQ highlights important moments, figures, and discernments that various Jesuit schools, colleges, and universities experience, which contribute to or challenge its Jesuit identity. In the past, these have included content such as obituaries, enrollment statistical analysis, reflections on navigating significant changes to the institution, and changing cultural contexts. 
3. Engaging Sources: JEQ centers the engagement of sources, broadly defined, of the Society of Jesus. As the late John O’Malley, S.J. stated, “I believe there is something stabilizing, even invigorating, about being part of a long-standing tradition, if of course one understands both its achievements and its limitations.” Through its publications and digital content, JEQ fosters the engagement with the source material of the Society, including but not limited to, the Ratio studiorum, the Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm (IPP), documents and letters of Jesuits or Jesuit institutions, and Arrupe’s “Men for others” speech. 
4. Global Network: JEQ engages the global network of Jesuit educational institutions in order to enrich dialogue and scholarship. Contributions from and about Jesuit educational institutions from around the world are welcome. While the peer-reviewed publication will be limited to the English language, the digital content of JEQ will explore other language submissions. 

In addition to research articles, we are interested in publishing interviews, commentaries, reviews, and reflections. Jesuit Educational Quarterly considers all items submitted via the online submission system.
