Inquiry, the Journal of the Virginia Community Colleges, offers faculty and staff an outlet to publish professionally, to share research and ideas, and to engage in broader conversations about issues and concerns that impact higher education and community colleges.
Inquiry is published at least once a year, and submissions are accepted and reviewed continuously. Contributors are encouraged to submit research-based articles (16-20 pages), thought-provoking notes-in-brief essays (4-8 pages), and book reviews (3-4 pages).
