Call for Submissions: Special Collection in Educational Psychology in Practice

Ahead of the AEP Annual Conference 2026, taking place on Thursday 12th and Friday 13th November at the Crowne Plaza, near Reading, we are inviting submissions for a special collection in Educational Psychology in Practice. 

This year’s conference theme “Changing the narrative: the next chapter for educational psychology,” has been selected to align with the National Year of Reading. 

To mark this occasion, we are developing a special collection focused on reading, literacy and dyslexia. The collection will bring together relevant work previously published in Educational Psychology in Practice, alongside new contributions that extend understanding and practice in this area.

We welcome submissions that include:

• Empirical research studies
• Conceptual or discussion papers
• Short practitioner-focused pieces
• Examples of innovative or effective practice within local authorities, schools, or other contexts

We are particularly interested in work that reflects the diversity of practice and contributes to shaping future directions in educational psychology.

Submitting your work: Articles should be submitted via the journal’s ScholarOne submission system which can be found on the journal homepage, https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/cepp20 

Reviewing for the special collection: If you have an interest in reading, literacy and dyslexia as an EP, and are interested in reviewing, please contact the editor  Dr Cathy Atkinson (Editor) cathy.epip@gmail.com
