Abstract

As of December 31, 2021, Richard J. Smith and I who currently serve as the editors of the Journal of Community Practice (JCP) will hand over our ScholarOne editor log in passwords to a new editorial team and free up some space in our respective Dropbox folders. While these mundane digital exercises might evoke an abrupt discontinuity, our inner reality shaped by critical consciousness tells us that the struggle for justice in communities continues and both of us will remain active in advancing efforts in that struggle. When we assumed the editorial responsibility for the journal in January of 2018, little did we know how tumultuous the next four years would be for communities across the globe. Nor did we envision how important journals like JCP would be in amplifying community scholarship in pursuit of social, economic, ecological and racial justice. If we have learned anything from the past two years with the COVID-19 pandemic, it is that the work of bringing justice to communities will perdure into the foreseeable future. We would like to thank the Association for Community Organization and Social Action (ACOSA), the organizational sponsor of the journal, for allowing us to steward JCP for four short years. When Professor Marie Weil founded the journal, she not only wanted it to be a place to publish about community practice but also to serve as a developmental journal – a space for emerging scholars to write with and about communities. We are grateful that we could continue to extend this vision. When we began our editorship four years ago, we identified a series of goals for the journal. First, we wanted to restructure the Editorial Board to reflect the interdisciplinary and international characteristics of our readership and the larger field of macro practice. Intentionality and extending the invitation were key elements to facilitating those changes. The 32 members of the current Editorial Board reflect the disciplinary, methodological, theoretical and geographic diversity of community practice. We thank all of our Editorial Board members across the globe who graciously accepted the invitation to serve the journal during our editorship. Your expertise and service contributed significantly to the growth and visibility of the journal. Given that JCP prides itself as an interdisciplinary journal grounded in social work, our second goal was to expand our interdisciplinary pool of manuscript reviewers, particularly in areas of emerging interest in the field of community practice and to reviewers familiar with communities or populations new to JCP. During our tenure, we added an additional 300 new JOURNAL OF COMMUNITY PRACTICE 2021, VOL. 29, NO. 4, 329–333 https://doi.org/10.1080/10705422.2021.2008708

争取社区正义的斗争仍在继续
截至2021年12月31日,Richard J. Smith和我(目前担任《社区实践杂志》(JCP)的编辑)将把我们的ScholarOne编辑登录密码交给一个新的编辑团队,并在我们各自的Dropbox文件夹中释放一些空间。虽然这些平凡的数字练习可能会引起突然的中断,但我们由批判意识塑造的内心现实告诉我们,在社区中争取正义的斗争仍在继续,我们都将继续积极地推进这场斗争。当我们在2018年1月担任该杂志的编辑时,我们几乎不知道接下来的四年对全球社区来说将是多么动荡。我们也没有想到像JCP这样的期刊会在追求社会、经济、生态和种族正义的过程中扩大社区学术的重要性。如果说我们从过去两年的COVID-19大流行中学到了什么的话,那就是在可预见的未来,为社区伸张正义的工作将持续下去。我们要感谢社区组织和社会行动协会(ACOSA),该杂志的组织赞助商,允许我们管理JCP短短四年。当Marie Weil教授创立该杂志时,她不仅希望它成为一个发表社区实践的地方,而且希望它成为一个发展期刊——一个新兴学者与社区一起写作和讨论社区的空间。我们很感激我们能够继续扩展这一愿景。当我们四年前开始担任编辑时,我们确定了该杂志的一系列目标。首先,我们希望重组编辑委员会,以反映我们读者的跨学科和国际特征,以及宏观实践的更大领域。意向和发出邀请是促进这些变化的关键因素。目前编委会的32名成员反映了社区实践的学科、方法、理论和地域多样性。我们感谢全球所有的编辑委员会成员,他们慷慨地接受了邀请,在我们的编辑期间为期刊服务。你们的专业知识和服务对期刊的发展和知名度做出了重大贡献。鉴于JCP以其作为一个基于社会工作的跨学科期刊而自豪,我们的第二个目标是扩大我们的跨学科手稿审稿人库,特别是在社区实践领域的新兴兴趣领域,以及熟悉社区或JCP新人群的审稿人。在我们任职期间,我们增加了额外的300个新的社区实践杂志2021,卷29,NO。4,329 - 333 https://doi.org/10.1080/10705422.2021.2008708
