Inquiry: Critical Thinking Across the Disciplines is published by the Institute for Critical Thinking at Montclair State University as a forum for the discussion of issues related to critical thinking across the disciplines, with an emphasis on the theory and practice of critical thinking in post-secondary educational contexts. Inquiry seeks to engage its readers in reflection about educational practices and to make available to them educational vehicles potentially useful in providing support for students' efforts to think critically.

Inquiry began publication in 1988 with a generous Challenge Grant from the State of New Jersey. Now in its eighth year, Inquiry has evolved from an eight-page monthly newsletter serving the campus community into a juried 100-page quarterly journal reaching an international readership.

Inquiry invites the submission of articles, responses, notices, letters and reviews for consideration for publication. In light of our multi-disciplinary orientation, we seek to include a balance of articles that reflect both disciplinary and interdisciplinary concerns. Articles on Critical Thinking and Educational Reform, CT in the Disciplines, CT and Social Issues, Perspectives in Multiculturalism and Postmodernism, and CT and Writing are particulary welcome. We also seek theoretical papers on critical thinking from the perspectives of such fields as Psychology, Philosophy and Communications from which relevant educational practices can be derived. Papers that address critical issues in contemporary education and the wider cultural horizon are also welcome.

Given the diverse nature of both the field and our readership, we ask that authors present early in their manuscripts the manner in which 'critical thinking' is to be understood. Three copies of manuscripts should be submitted with the author's name appearing only on a cover sheet. This should be accompanied by computer diskette with two files of the paper, one formatted and one text only. Macintosh, Microsoft Word (5.1) is preferred, but other popular word processing applications are acceptable, as are PC disks. Submissions should be sent to:
