Anti-Racism Practices & Equity Practices

The Journal of Trauma Studies in Education is dedicated to purposeful and intentional engagement in antiracist and equitable practice[s] throughout all of our processes. In doing so, we have established a sub-group to lead the charge in ensuring the board, reviewers, and authors remain vigilant in challenging their own personal biases, recognizing and rooting out racism and oppressive systems, and addressing these issues head on. It is our commitment to go beyond making this statement, but to embody it in all aspects of our work.

Current Projects

• Creation of trainings and assessments on topics such as unconscious bias in the review process.
• On-going review of policies and practices regarding publication and manuscript review; recruitment, selection, and management of editorial board and reviewers; marketing and solicitation of submissions.
