Aims & Scope

The Educational Justice Journal is a publication that advocates for improving equity and equality in education. We support the scholarship of educators who believe that every student deserves educational justice. In the United States, there are achievement gaps that disproportionately affect underrepresented and underserved children, including minorities, low income families, English Language Learners, children with different abilities, and gender disparities. Educational justice is a call to use education as a tool for creating positive change in the world.

EJJ publishes current research in theory and practice promoting educational equity in the areas of:

  • K-12 education
  • Higher education
  • Trade and vocational education
  • Community-based education
  • International education
