THE OXFORD SYMPOSIUM ON EDUCATION & HUMAN RIGHTS
THE  OXFORD SYMPOSIUM ON EDUCATION & HUMAN RIGHTS 

Publications

Papers presented at the Oxford Human Rights & Education Law Symposium may be submitted for publication in the form of edited books and/or journal articles, available either in hardcopy or online. The deadline for submission is 6 weeks after the conclusion of the symposium. Mail completed papers to conferences@oxford-education-law-symposium.com. Manuscripts submitted for publication must be original, not having been previously presented at another conference nor having been submitted for publication elsewhere. The manuscript is submitted for blind review by academics with knowledge of the field within which the manuscript is categorized. With the advice of the reviewers, the Symposium Editor will make one of four decisions: accept, accept contingent upon revision, revise and resubmit, or reject. Authors of papers will be required to sign a consent to publish form.

The staff initially reviews the manuscript. If the manuscript does not fall within the scope of the Symposium or is not formatted according to CMS, 16th ed., it will be returned to the author. Otherwise, an email acknowledgment is sent to the author.
