In the recent editor listening sessions on anti-racism and inclusion practices in publication editing and academic publishing, one theme we heard from participants was the importance of mentoring and transparency to support multiply marginalized and underrepresented
(MMU) scholars, particularly graduate students, and early career scholars. To increase transparency, TCQ's editor in chief has updated our <a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.google.com_document_d_1rEhkfiTQQ8eHWURVoabDZby5MxIiYNOPhHOfl31WvTg_edit-3Fusp-3Dsharing&d=DwMFaQ&c=Cu5g146wZdoqVuKpTNsYHeFX_rg6kWhlkLF8Eft-wwo&r=jJkoxbWtCpE5e8MI77-UdqtVOOorjyiQtvdgDRxM-90&m=VHnFNHdqeeQgE-q5fe3radKhuXjf1MRAo-rC-RqRh_A&s=rhzRXj5J7-UjfPO8DTFyrLfjpBU9aUeyqgMM5k0L6VE&e=" title="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.google.com_document_d_1rEhkfiTQQ8eHWURVoabDZby5MxIiYNOPhHOfl31WvTg_edit-3Fusp-3Dsharing&d=DwMFaQ&c=Cu5g146wZdoqVuKpTNsYHeFX_rg6kWhlkLF8Eft-wwo&r=jJkoxbWtCpE5e8MI77-UdqtVOOorjyiQtvdgDRxM-90&m=VHnFNH">guest

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt">Special consideration will be given to proposals that explain how guest editors will 1) seek submissions from MMU scholars, particularly graduate students, and early career scholars, and 2) support contributing
scholars through the publication process. Such efforts could involve, for example, particular forms of mentorship, flexibility in accepted genres or innovative genre options, specific ways to increase transparency, or other ideas. Feel free to contact editor
in chief Tracy Bridgeford (<a href="mailto:tbridgeford@unomaha.edu" title="mailto:tbridgeford@unomaha.edu">tbridgeford@unomaha.edu</a>) to request a meeting to talk through your ideas before submitting your proposal package if that would be helpful.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
