  The discourse of ‘Journey(s)’ may be interpreted from a diversity of theoretical, methodological and practice perspectives. For example, editors will consider papers which explore the changing paradigmatic research
  journey(s) in adventure education and/or outdoor learning, metaphorical journeys, the place of outdoor learning through significant life experience and so forth.

  All submissions will be subject to the usual rigorous reviewing processes and publication cannot be guaranteed.
