About


Currents, Journal of Diversity Scholarship for Social Change is an open access* multidisciplinary journal that offers cutting-edge diversity scholarship and research to inform researchers, practitioners, leaders, policymakers, and the broader public conversation. All papers undergo a two-part review process including a review by content experts and review for public accessibility.

Research can quietly inform our practice and fundamentally shape what we do and how we engage with communities and shift toward a more equitable society in the long-term. But if needed, research can be a catalyst for new and innovative ways of thinking about - and engaging in - practice. We hope that the collection of articles in each Currents issue adds to our readers' and practitioners' knowledge and skillset. Together, our research, practice, and collaboration can bring social change in support of marginalized communities.

We thank you for your readership and hope you appreciate what our research has to offer.

Currents is the journal of the National Center for Institutional Diversity at the University of Michigan and is published by Michigan Publishing.
