About JCIP
Journal of Creative Inquiry & Practice exists at the intersection of advocacy, scholarship, and world-making. We are an interdisciplinary platform committed to epistemic justice - the recognition that knowledge itself is a site of power, exclusion, and possibility. Our pages center voices, methodologies, and frameworks emerging from community spaces, border zones, and threshold experiences: the places where dominant epistemologies break down and transformative knowledge takes root. We invite scholar-practitioners, public intellectuals, artists, activists, and community-embedded researchers who understand that creative approaches to inquiry aren't merely innovative - they're necessary responses to global challenges that Western academic traditions alone cannot solve.
We publish work that refuses to separate thinking from doing, theory from practice, knowing from being. This is scholarship that crosses borders: disciplinary, geographical, ontological. It emerges from Indigenous cosmologies, diasporic epistemologies, grassroots organizing, artistic practice, and the lived experiences of those navigating multiple worlds. If your work asks not only "what do we know?" but "whose knowledge counts, who gets to know, and how can knowledge serve justice?" - join us.
