 Creativity for a Cause in Theory & Practice

This issue of the journal will focus on creativity, advocacy, and activism through theory and practice. 

We encourage a variety of types of submissions, including academic papers from all disciplines, workshops, creative submissions, performances, storytelling, and visual arts. Given the current climate, relevant questions or focus might include: How do we heal trauma? How can art be leveraged for community connection and social change? What works and what doesn’t work? Where have we been? Where are we now? Where do we hope to be?
