International Journal of Information, Diversity and Inclusion

Aims & Scope

IJIDI presents wide­-ranging and multidisciplinary perspectives on the intersection of equity, social justice, and information.

The journal seeks to expand the discourse on how access to, interaction with, and the use of information by a range of populations can impact individuals, communities, and society.

IJIDI promotes images and concepts of diversity that go beyond demographic characteristics.

We continue discussions about the variety of participation and representation in the context of race, ethnicity, language, gender, social class, and body ability.

We are also guided by recently emerged ideas, including values-based diversity and design and a combination of approaches to diversity research and practice emanating from the academy and fields of practice in the field of library and information science (LIS).

We are committed to micro- and macro-level discussions and value the policy focus as much as we value attention to individuals, groups, and humanistic concerns.

We position diversity as a matter that touches every member of the global public.

The social justice approach to diversity is complemented by the vision of diversity as an engine of prosperity and social progress, without which harmonious co-existence and economic growth are impossible.

A unique aspiration of our journal is to provide international coverage of diversity issues and a more comprehensive forum for voices from outside of North America and the English-speaking world.

The word “information” in the title opens the door to connecting IJIDI to allied professional fields and cognate disciplines, including contributions from museums, archives, performing arts, and other cultural institutions, computer science, health, disability studies, and social work, among others.
