Which perspectives in academic publishing are amplified — and which are overlooked?
In its latest issue, the Journal of Critical Race, Indigeneity, and Decolonization (JCRID) highlights decolonization and marginalized voices while advancing what the editors call “knowledge globalization.”
“We tried to spread the geographic tentacles of this edition,” said chief editor Dr. Festus Moasun, a professor in the School of Social Work. “We included articles from Africa, South Asia, as well as North America.”

By Kate Hargreaves
Kathleen Rose (MEd ’25) calls herself a long-time gamer, playing early role-playing games (RPGs) like Baldur's Gate since the 1990s.
As the mother of young children at the time, and as a woman in the male-dominated video gaming space, she began to wonder about what messages these games were sending to players about gender and bodies.
“As an English teacher, games are a text. They’re a media text like anything else,” she explains.

By Kate Hargreaves

“I’m not stepping into curation asking what it is I can say about their work, but how can I best share their work with others,” she explains.
“What opportunities can I find with the way that work can sit together in a room, to propel the storytelling of the featured artist and also insert an aspect of myself into that narrative?”
