摘要：This has been a year of reimagining for JoLLE. During our time together as a review and editorial board we've discussed how we are (or are not) holding our authors and ourselves accountable for ethical research practices, the ways that access to the journal is limited by a reliance on English as the standard language of publication, and also our unexamined use of gender-specific pronouns. We have begun a very slow, sometimes contentious, process of questioning our practices and the ways that we are limiting, even unintentionally, the proliferation of work that pushes boundaries, incorporates a diverse combination of voices, and welcomes and acknowledges myriad fluid identities. I won't pretend that our board of 16 doctoral students and a very active and supportive faculty advisor has come to a neat set of agreed-upon conclusions regarding the topics we've discussed. Many of the conversations we began in August, remain in conversation today. In many instances, rather than finding answers to our questions, we've simply unearthed more. However, as the articles, book reviews, and poetry and art included in this issue of JoLLE demonstrate, we aren't the only group of educators who are reimagining, with a degree of difficulty, some of the foundational aspects of our field and our practice.
