Mission and vision

We are committed to bringing the great works from China abroad. We value the human-centered approach.
Aims and scope
Creative Arts in Education and Therapy (CAET) – Eastern and Western Perspectives is an international journal intended for artists, educators, therapists, community workers and others who both use and integrate the creative arts in their work. CAET’s focus is on reporting and discussing perspectives, artistic expressions, theory-based applications as well as practice-based approaches between the West and the East – particularly China and its neighboring cultures. CAET supports cross-disciplinary dialogue, cooperation and research between the creative arts (creative writing, dance/movement, drama, film and video, music and the visual arts) and therapy, education, psychology, medicine, community applications and other related fields. We encourage creative and imaginative scholarships that promote cultural diversity, inclusivity and social justice.
CAET invites articles describing innovative professional approaches and practices and/or research within the arts, presentations of art in varied media (as described above), program descriptions, position papers, interviews and conference reports relevant to the field. CAET encourages scholarly, engaging, original, timely work and art-based submissions and expressions in varied forms of media presented in ways that are accessible to the public. We also welcome authors to submit books for assignment and review consideration. Manuscripts are subject to a peer review process before being accepted and published. Contributions are to be in English.
Articles published in CAET must be focused upon the broad uses and applications of the creative and expressive arts across education, therapy, health and communities. Research in the arts can include art-based, mixed-methods, quantitative, qualitative, theoretical, historical, cultural, and other methodologies. There is no standardized format required for presentation of the research.
