Editorial New Scholars In Review DENNIS THIESSEN, ELIZABETH CAMPBELL, & RUBÉN GAZTAMBIDE-FERNÁNDEZ Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto Toronto, ON, Canada To date, Curriculum Inquiry (CI) has published three review issues, each of which has varied in review format and reviewers. For volume 38, issue number 4, there were five formats (review of the literature, essay review, “classic” essay review, book review, in brief review) written by scholars at different stages in their careers. In volume 39, issue number 1, we included essay reviews on the SAGE Handbook of Curriculum and Instruction (Connelly, He, & Phillion, 2008). The reviewers were both senior scholars (initial academic appointment prior to 1992) and early-to-mid-career scholars (initial academic appointment after 1992). In our anniversary review issue (volume 40, issue numbers 1 & 2), we invited “classic” essay reviews by prominent scholars in the field. In this issue, we include four formats—essay review, “classic” essay review, book review, and in brief review—written by new scholars whom we are pleased to highlight in review. We not only want to recognize them as talented and insightful reviewers of important work in curriculum studies but also to welcome and honour their contributions to the field. We define a new scholar as “an active graduate student who has not completed her/his dissertation” at the point in which we invited her/him to submit a review for this issue. To identify the new scholars for this issue, we sought nominations from noted scholars in the field. Reviews by the following new scholars appear in this issue (with the nominator for each new scholar in parentheses): Ayelet Becher (Freema Elbaz Luwisch), Salima Bhimani (Rubén Gaztambide-Fernández), Gregory Bourassa (Donna Deyhle), Ergin Bulut (Cameron McCarthy), Jake Burdick (Tom Barone), Sonia Carlyle (Ming Fang He), Sara Childers (Patti Lather), Kerrie Clarence (Catherine Harris-Hart), Valerie Futch (Michelle Fine), Alexander Gurn (Andy Hargeaves), Mark Halvorson (Peter Grimmett), Givanni Ildefonso (David Hansen), RM Kennedy (Alice Pitt), Aliya Rahman and Bruce Parker (Nina Asher), Gillian Rosenberg (Elizabeth Campbell), Brandon Sams (Madeleine Grumet), Marina Schwimmer (Maurice Tardif), Katie Sciurba (Pedro Noguero), Wade Tillett (William Schubert), Valerie Triggs (Rita Irwin), and Nienke Wieringa (Nico Verloop). In our invitation to the above new scholars, we expressed an interest in what they, as part of the next generation of curriculum scholars, were reading. Our specific instructions were as follows: Please choose a book, a special issue of a journal, a policy document, a chapter, or an article. The publication/resource should be published in 2008, 2009, or 2010 (or before 1985 if you decide to do a © 2011 by The Ontario Institute for Studies in Education of the University of Toronto Curriculum Inquiry 41:1 (2011) Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 350 Main Street, Malden, MA 02148, USA, and 9600 Garsington Road, Oxford OX4 2DQ, UK doi: 10.1111/j.1467-873X.2010.00542.x
