Call for Papers. The IJDS invites authors to submit papers for forthcoming issues. The IJDS is an international, multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed, scholarly journal published online twice a year. The journal invites authors to consider submitting their papers for forthcoming issues. An important purpose of the IJDS is to stimulate and facilitate interaction between researchers and practitioners who are interested in the stimulation of dialogical processes in a globalizing world. A central notion is the ''dialogical self'' that brings together, in innovative ways, theoretical traditions regarding 'self' and 'dialogue'. A more detailed description of the scope of the journal can be found online at <http://ijds.lemoyne.edu/editorial.statement.html>.
