General call for papers
Journal of Diversity in Higher Education
, the official journal of the National
Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Educationopens in new window and
published by APA (American Psychological Association), offers insights into theory
and research that can help guide the efforts of institutions of higher education in the
pursuit of inclusive excellence.
The journal largely publishes empirical research focused on issues related to issues
of diversity, equity, and inclusion in post-secondary environments.
Our manuscripts address the experiences and outcomes of individuals from
underrepresented and underserved communities, focusing on institutional barriers
and challenges, patterns of access and achievement, and the impact of engaging
with diverse students, faculty, and administrators.
We are also interested in work that explores issues related to teaching and learning,
policy development and implementation, and leadership and organizational change
in diverse learning environments.
Multidisciplinary in scope, the journal publishes empirical work that supports efforts
to transform institutions, inspire colleagues, engage campus, governmental, and
private sector leaders, and articulate culturally competent outcomes.
