About the Journal
Founder’s Statement (Manu Sharma)
It remains a challenge to find a scholarly journal that embraces an interdisciplinary approach to social justice education, despite the increasing and influential impact of social injustices that educators confront daily at both micro and macro levels. In response to this gap in academic publishing, the Journal of Social Justice Education (JSJE) was created.
My vision is to establish an academic home recognized for its quality research and cutting-edge contributions that respond to educational inequities in schools, post-secondary institutions, and communities. JSJE aims to build bridges between community-based injustices and educational spaces, fostering scholarship that drives transformation and inclusion.
Another key purpose of founding this journal is to cultivate a supportive network of social justice scholars who collaborate in developing creative, community-minded solutions to reduce inequities experienced by students, educators, and the broader society.
Finally, I hope JSJE rekindles countless glimmers of hope through the collective light of these academic works. May this shared flame inspire educators to imagine and co-create new possibilities for education, spaces grounded in ethics, equity, collaboration, and creativity; so that all learners, including educators themselves, may thrive and inspire one another.
