In our January “how can we help you?” thread, a reader writes:
Does anyone know of journals publishing articles on teaching other than Teaching Philosophy? Preferably open access ones.
Do readers have any tips?

American Association of Philosophy Teachers Studies in Pedagogy, although I believe it only publishes themed volumes, so you have to keep your eye out for a volume with a theme matching what you want to write about if you have a particular piece in mind that you are looking to publish.

It would be helpful to have a little more detail. There are several journals, like the Journal of Philosophy of Education, which publish on the topic of teaching. Would that fit OP’s bill? Or is OP looking for journals that publish specifically on pedagogical techniques and practices?

It depends on what you’re looking for: the Journal of philosophy of education, the International Journal of Ethics Education and there is also Education Philosophy and Theory. I believe (the latter two at least?) are with Taylor and Francis, and give you the option of publishing open access (though presumably you or your institution has to pay for this).
But: he’s a “secret” – I bet many regular philosophy journals would publish on teaching if people sent them articles! For example, Analysis just published “Taking Teaching Seriously” in 2024 and also Analysis published “What’s wrong with teaching controversial issues directively?” in 2025. So, my guess is that any philosophy journal will that considers itself “all purpose” or covering all areas, will be open to teaching philosophy articles. However, the usual caveat applies to sending speciality articles to all purpose journals (that they shouldn’t be too narrow or “insider” etc.) -
I have a paper on pedagogy currently under review at the Journal of Character Education,

OP here, thank you all for the replies so far. I had in mind journals that publish more practical pieces, introducing new techniques or tweaking existing ones, presenting examples or materials that other philosophy teachers could use in class etc. I am also not based in the US, so openness to wider higher education contexts would be another relevant detail to include.
