AIEA provides publication guidelines for Issue Briefs, Occasional Papers, Social Justice and DEI Series, and Guiding Questions for Graduate and Undergraduate. You can find the guidelines for each publication types below.
ISSUE BRIEF AUTHOR GUIDELINES
The goal of AIEA Issue Briefs is to inform AIEA members and the larger international education community about key issues in the internationalization of higher education and potential responses. Issue Briefs are intentionally concise, but provide references to enable SIOs to investigate the issue in greater depth. AIEA Issue Briefs are peer reviewed.
To prepare an Issue Brief:
State the issue for consideration, how it emerged, and its relevance to AIEA’s mission and membership of senior international officers from around the world
Discuss the significance and possible impacts of the issue
Provide one or more possible or attempted responses to the issue and discuss potential ramifications, positive and/or negative
Include references and resources to help readers investigate the issue in more depth
Length: 1,000 to 1,500 words Style: APA

COLLABORATION AND ENGAGEMENT IN INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION
Recent global tragedies have underscored an urgency for higher education to embrace and ground social justice, anti-racist, and deeply collaborative ways of learning at the heart of its work. To meet these challenges, social justice must be intentionally foregrounded in our daily work in international education as a whole to make tangible inroads toward diversity, equity, and inclusion.
This series focuses on unique strategies and practices to bring about change that bear on social justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion on campus through:
Decolonizing the curriculum in international education, disciplinary majors, and general education
Building faculty-staff collaborative coalitions for social justice-focused internationalization efforts
Prioritizing social justice/diversity, equity, and inclusion in international education programming, international partnerships, staffing, and hiring
Other relevant domains in higher education.
AIEA welcomes original contributions for this series from all colleagues working on social justice/ diversity, equity, and inclusion issues in international higher education. Contributions should be written with a Senior International Officer audience in mind. All contributors should follow the guidelines below.
Guidelines for Submission: Your Name Your Title Your Institution/Organization Brief Bio Title of Your Article Abstract (300 words minimum) Outline of the Article (please make it as complete as possible)
Submission and Review Process: The series editors will evaluate submissions and forward recommended proposals to the AIEA Publications and Resources Committee for peer review. Upon acceptance by the committee, the authors may proceed with developing full manuscripts. Completed manuscripts are then reviewed by the series editors to make recommendations to the AIEA Publications and Resources Committee to publish.
STUDENT PERSPECTIVE GUIDELINES
As students, you are the centerpiece of campus, curriculum internationalization, and innovation because you drive your campus’ academic, intercultural, and research programs. Your university would not exist without you. As students, you come from different backgrounds (including social, ethnic, economic, linguistic, and cultural) and often need to navigate different identities throughout your enrollment. Within this framework, the Association of International Education Administrators (AIEA) seeks to capture your expectations, experiences, challenges, and perspectives—whether you are a domestic, international, undergraduate, or graduate student. We want to understand your circumstances better and would like you perhaps to help us as university leaders close any gaps in perceptions around student intercultural experiences on campus.
AIEA is a global non-profit organization focused on supporting university leaders in international education.
