ABOUT THE JOURNAL
The International Journal for Water Equity and Justice (IJWEJ) is an open-access journal promoting scholarly and creative discourse related to global progress and challenges around water equity and justice.
IJWEJ also has a featured blog, IJWEJ Dialog, which aims to provide an additional platform for authors and artists to share their work in this field. The goal is to promote multimodal publications such as photo essays, interviews, and creative, artistic, experimental engagements in this field. Submission of articles and research work in all other languages is welcome for the blog.
The International Journal for Water Equity and Justice (IJWEJ) is co-created by The Water Center at University of Pennsylvania and the Global Water Alliance. It is hosted by the University of Pennsylvania Libraries.
LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The editorial team of this International Journal acknowledges that we do our work in Lenapehokink, traditional homeland of the Lenape people for tens of thousands of years. The Lenape descendants of the original people include the Delaware Tribe and Delaware Nation of Oklahoma; the Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape, Ramapough Lenape, and Powhatan Renape of New Jersey; and the Munsee Delaware of Ontario. Let us pay respect to the historical and ongoing presence of the Lenape and the Nanticoke on this land where we now live, work and celebrate life in all our international relations.
ABOUT THE WATER CENTER
The Water Center at Penn is a community-focused research center working to identify integrated solutions to the challenges facing water systems and watersheds. We strive to be a trusted, reliable partner whose work accelerates water equity.
The Water Center uses a community-led research approach, working alongside communities bringing their knowledge and expertise to the solutions addressing their water challenges, sharing power and responsibility, and encouraging them to take the lead in determining priorities, questions to be asked, and the approach to answering those questions. We share resources, education, training, and applied knowledge to support community goals.
