Journal of Gender, Race & Justice

The Journal of Gender, Race & Justice has committed itself to the challenge of exploring how the law may classify, stratify, ignore, or single out one due to their race, sex, gender, economic class, ability, or sexual identity. The journal strives to examine how individuals negotiate their identities, how the legal system shapes those identities, and how these dynamics influence their ability to achieve justice. This journal advocates for justice that allows people to live authentically and free from fear or penalty.
