The Journal of Race & Policy (JRP)

The Journal of Race & Policy was conceived in 2004 by Michael L. Clemons, Professor of Political Science and African American Studies and Director of the Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity at Old Dominion University (ODU) in Norfolk, Virginia. The project was initiated with a small seed grant from the University's Division of Academic Affairs. The journal continues to be run by the Consortium for Research on Race, Diversity & Policy. JRP's mission is to provide an interdisciplinary forum for the presentation of research on public policy issues including education, employment, health care, political participation, social welfare, and social justice. As an independent, peer-reviewed, scholarly publication, the journal seeks to promote intellectual debate, rigorous investigation, and the development of new ideas on race, ethnicity, diversity, and public policy in American society and the global arena. JRP seeks to bring to academia and policy makers timely perspectives and insights about race and ethnicity and their relevance to policy-related topics. JRP focuses on the contemporary problems and complexities that beset the United States and the world. Technological and economic development have prompted quickened and more profound patterns of change which are intertwined with population expansion marked by racial, ethnic, and cultural diversification. Within this context, the Editorial Board of JRP maintains that the pursuit of the goals of social equity and justice are paramount for long-term domestic and global peace, prosperity, and stability.
