Tracks (Articles): The Black Educology Mixtape accepts tracks that are between 3,000-8,000 words (inclusive of references) utilizing APA citation style. We seek tracks that work toward collective action rooted in building, fighting, and dreaming in ways that disrupt, subvert, and destroy antiblackness in education. Diverse methodological and theoretical perspectives are encouraged. Authors collecting data must have an Institutional Review Board for the Protection of Human Subjects (IRBPHS) or other approval for the ethical collection of data. Authors must attest to honoring ethical standards to the ownership and creation of the work they present; this mixtape will not tolerate plagiarism in any form.

Notes from the Studio: Notes or commentary can be up to 1,000-2,500 words (exclusive of references) and pertain to engaged projects, Black liberatory practices, and abolitionism.
