Journal of Media Practice & Education
As it eases into its 22nd year the new editors and editorial board of Media Practice and Education Journal have reflected on its history and its future. The Journal is the leading global forum for sharing creative media praxis. It is committed to encouraging the exploration of the interplay between critical and theoretical reflection, and the creative practice of media practitioners and media practice education. The Journal sees media practice as broad ranging and interdisciplinary, enabling it to make an impactful contribution to the advancement of practice-based knowledge. The Journal fills a crucial gap within the current research landscape, serving as an important platform and venue for research and voices that seek to decolonize, democratize and diversify concepts of academic publishing and in the process influence academic research to foster greater globalization and participation. It is committed to enhancing its inclusivity, leading and shaping strategies that enact diversity.
From Black Lives Matter to the Me Too movement and beyond, the Journal not only recognises and respects its diverse contributors and readers, it actively seeks works that represent these issues, perspectives and demographics. This reflects the Journal’s commitment to anti-racism, equality and inclusivity and its aim is to build methods for support to under-represented and under-resourced communities with an encouragement to a deeper engagement with the Global South. This is a significant aim dedicated to helping shape the future of an increasingly important field. We reiterate our commitment to featuring work from and about marginalised communities whose experiences so often show a path of progress. To this end, we will be inviting submissions from all corners of the globe, authored by and with those from all communities and cultures.
