Founded in 2003, the Journal of the Canadian Association for Curriculum Studies (JCACS) is an open-access journal of the Canadian Association for Curriculum Studies (CACS) that is published semi-annually. As the one domain of educational discourse that originated from and is particular to education, curriculum studies is here understood broadly—not simply as a consideration of mandated programs of study, but as a theorization of those complex structures within which teaching and learning occur.
