Racial Justice in Multilingual Education
Racial Justice in Multilingual Education (RJME) is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing intersectional and raciolinguistic justice across the educational spectrum, from early childhood through higher education (P–20). Led by an interdisciplinary editorial board, the journal seeks to redefine the boundaries of scholarship in multilingual/language education by centering community voices, challenging dominant ideologies, and supporting transformative, justice-oriented practices. RJME invites a wide range of submissions—from empirical and conceptual research to pedagogical tools, policy briefs, arts-based work, and multilingual storytelling—offering a platform for innovative contributions that decenter deficit-oriented narratives, elevate historically marginalized knowledge, and foster humanizing educational environments.
The journal’s scope is expansive and intentionally inclusive. It promotes work that challenges raciolinguistic ideologies, addresses the intersections of power structures, and embraces linguistic practices beyond named or standardized languages. RJME encourages multimodal and multilingual submissions, including those in languages other than English, and values co-authorship with students, educators, families, and communities. By offering accessible, high-impact scholarship and tools for practice, RJME serves educators, researchers, policymakers, and communities working toward racial and linguistic justice in education.
Inaugural publication August, 2025.
