The University of Michigan’s Journal of Diversity Scholarship for Social Change invites proposals for their special issue that asks the question, “Are Anti-Racism Efforts Having an Impact in Organizations and Communities?”
While scholarship and research have demonstrated the ways racism continues to operate in our society, the special issue will highlight how organizations (e.g. education, corporate, nonprofit) and groups (e.g. community organizers) have come to understand systemic racism, how they track and measure the impact of racism, and what innovative interventions hold promise in reducing and eliminating racism across systems.
The editors invite proposals for submissions from scholars from all fields and disciplines. We seek proposals that:
- Showcase innovative anti-racist interventions across industries and geographic locations AND demonstrate innovative tools to measure the impact
- Discuss the intersections of anti-racism (e.g. efforts towards addressing sexism, classism) and how to leverage and join forces to measure and track progress
- Report on the challenges and best practices for centering the voices of communities of color and engaging them in naming the outcomes of anti-racist efforts
- Offer innovative tools and methods to track and report on the progress of anti-racist policies and practices
Scholars interested in submitting an article to the special issue should submit a letter of intent by June 1, 2022 through the journal’s electronic submission.
