<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">The <strong>International Journal of Bias, Identity and Diversities in Education (IJBIDE)</strong> investigates critically the positioning of diverse individuals in formal and informal contexts of education – from kindergarten to adult education, but also lifelong learning. Diversities here refer to different identity markers such as ethnicity, religion, gender, social class, citizenship, disabilities, educational background and language(s). IJBIDE is clearly positioned within a non-essentialist and non-culturalist perspective. IJBIDE also aims to promote original research methods by linking up macro- and micro- methodological approaches. The journal is fully blind peer reviewed by the best experts in the field and publishes empirical and conceptual research and case studies from around the world.<br><br><em><strong>Coverage of IJBIDE:</strong></em><br><br>The topics covered in the contributions include (but are not limited to):<br><br><ul>
    <li>The perception, place and role of diversities in (teacher) education (students, teachers, student-teachers, leadership, etc.)</li>
    <li>Bullying, bias, segregation and discrimination in education</li>
    <li>Academic and student mobility and diversities</li>
    <li>Diversities and informal learning</li>

    <li>Teaching about diversities (intercultural/global competence)</li>
    <li>Forms of discrimination and segregation in education</li>
    <li>Place/space and diversities</li>
    <li>Diversities and digital educational technologies</li>
    <li>Links between ‘home’ and school in relation to diversities (parents)</li>
    <li>Media representations of diversities in education</li>
    <li>Assessment, evaluation and diversities</li>
    <li>Role and place of diversities in education policies</li>

    <li>Teaching material and diversities</li>
    <li>History of diversities in education</li>
    <li>Interactions between and integration of students of diverse backgrounds</li>
    <li>Role and place of teachers of diverse backgrounds</li>
    <li>Perception and integration of the ‘foreigner’ in education</li>
    <li>Diversities and multilingual education</li>
    <li>Methods or methodologies/conceptual approaches and researching diversities</li>
    <li>Reflexivity and/or critical awareness around diversities in education</li>
    <li>Social Action and Diversities</li>
    <li>The commodification or processes of commodifying of diversities in education</li>
