What is the Educational Justice Journal?

Educational Justice Journal(EJJ) is a peer reviewed academic publication dedicated to advancing scholarship in the study and practice of equity in education. EJJ actively promotes cross-disciplinary conversations, delving into how intertextualities and intersectionalities function across diverse educational contexts, spanning various times, spaces, and places that center equity and social justice. We welcome contributions from a broad spectrum of scholars (including graduate and doctoral students) engaged in these fields and encourage research that challenges conventional methodological boundaries.

Special Edition

Shapeshifting for Survival and Social Justice

This special theme issue of The Educational Justice Journal seeks to explore the multidimensional nature of shapeshifting, particularly through the lens of identity development within contested spaces and across time. Drawing on the works of Bourdieu (1986) and Yosso (2005), we examine how cultural and social capital play pivotal roles in who is afforded the ability to shapeshift and who is systematically denied that capacity due to racism, sexism, homophobia, ageism, and other intersecting forms of discrimination.
