Reflections is published as a double-blind peer-reviewed open access online journal. Over 100 professionals and academics for the fields of social work, psychology, nursing, narrative medicine, library science, psychiatry and other fields actively participate as peer reviewers. An Editorial Team of distinguished faculty and practitioners ensures that manuscripts are of the highest quality. It is a forum for uncovering, assessing, and conveying—through narrative discourse—the multiple joys, challenges, ideas, and questions related to our work, and for sharing the knowledge we derive from our experiences. Reflections utilizes narrative inquiry as its core focus. These narratives explore our communities, our students, our theories, our politics, our biases, our ethics, and our growth. It is a journal that uncovers the many connections that unite all of us as well as the disconnections that divide us. This journal showcases educators, organizational, community, policy, and clinical practitioners and students. Clients of social service systems are especially invited to share their perspectives.
