Social Equity in Action: Welcoming PAR’s Newest Editorial Board Members 5

Recent times have seen social equity rise to the

forefront of public and nonprofit agendas.

Among core public values, it has seen the most

dramatic rise in attention. At Public Administration

Review, the importance of social equity has always

been paramount. We have led inquiry into the

subject through symposia focused on civil rights,

gender, and race, and we're looking forward to

revealing the results of our most recent symposium

on the topic in 2022. Just this week Sanjay Pandey

and I co-led representatives of PAR’s team in a

collaborative webinar with the Consortium of Race

and Gender Scholars (CORGES) titled “New Era

and New Concepts in the Study of Race in Public

Administration and Policy: Racializing, Whiteness,

and More.” Through these and other efforts we

strive to raise awareness, cultivate understanding,

and stimulate research that will move our discipline

toward a position where equity is the accepted norm.

But conceptualization and theorizing are vapors in a

strong wind. We put those values into action at every

turn. I am now proud to announce what I believe to

be the most diverse editorial board in PAR history.

Every year we turn a new leaf, sending thanks to those

members of our editorial board who have honorably

served their three-year term, and welcoming a new

group of editorial board members who will shepherd the

journal through whatever challenges and advancements

may occur. At this time, I am pleased to extend my

sincere gratitude to a number of editorial board

members for their service from 2019–2021. I am

certain that they did not anticipate serving the journal

during such tumultuous times; none of us could have

imagined the challenges we would face. I am proud of

the organization we have built, and sad to say farewell to

these members of our team. I know they will continue

to serve PAR in important ways for years to come.
