Multiculturalism, social justice, and peace are important aspects of the Christian faith. However, scholars in the literature seeking to integrate psychology and Christian theology have underrepresented them. In this present article, we review barriers to including them in our psychology–theology integration literature. Thereafter, we provide a trinitarian theology of multiculturalism, social justice, and peace with a hope that theological knowledge will help Christian psychologists begin to overcome barriers and to move this body of literature forward. We also offer implications for scholarship/research, education/training, and clinical work.

Creative practices are needed to address the range of issues that confront contemporary cities—issues of social justice, economic development, and environmental quality. Urban humanities emphasize innovative methods and practices, which evolve along with shifting epistemologies in multidisciplinary confluence, standing in contrast to a current dominant narrative that contemporary cities depend upon attracting a creative group of citizens. Recent efforts the LA River, driven by a motley crew of people set out to reimagine new possibilities for the river, illustrating that the city as an object of study intrinsically carries implications about action and about the future. This manifesto offers a call to action for scholars to become engaged, creative urban practitioners.

Hymnody has long reflected both the theology and the changing concerns of the Christian church. Dan Damon, a leading practitioner with more than a hundred published hymns, has conducted large-scale research into the representation of social justice issues in contemporary hymnals. Damon is interviewed about his creative process as hymn text writer and as composer (a process deeply intertwined with his work as pastor of a United Methodist church), shedding additional light on the questions that motivate his research: “What are we already singing about justice?” and “What justice issues have our hymn writers not yet addressed?” Several hymn texts illustrate Damon’s responses to the omissions implied by the latter question. Reflections on the role of this new hymnody, both in the congregation’s spiritual formation and as call to action, suggest the vitality to be gained by including hymn texts on social justice in our worship.

Collective Dimension

The digitisation and datafication of European society necessitate a robust ecology of transparency to enable scrutinising and challenging digital infrastructures that govern our lives. The GDPR – and its transparency provisions in particular – play a vital role in this pursuit. Crucially, in light of the strong informational power asymmetries in the digital society, the effectiveness of GDPR transparency measures will depend on their collective use. This contribution -- submitted as feedback to the European Commission’s two-year evaluation of the implementation of the GDPR -- aims to highlight this collective dimension of GDPR access rights, emphasising their potential for social justice (with a rich list of real-life examples in the Annex) and the requirements for rendering them effective. We hope the European Commission takes this contribution as a call to action for creating an enabling environment for collective access rights: empowering all actors in the GDPR’s ecology of transparency, and unlocking the full potential of the GDPR in safeguarding a fair digital society.

Racial Injustice

Perceptions on leadership training to sustain teachers of color vary in approaches, ideologies, and values. However, what evidence is within the literature to depict what effective principals do to retain, in particular, African American teachers?  In the present study, the authors have reviewed the literature from 2011-2020 through the lens of Critical Learning Theory. This examination led to an extrapolation of categories that indirectly embed social justice as a tool utilized for retaining African American teachers. Nevertheless, many well-known strategies utilized to promote the retention of present-day African American teachers do not include this motivating call-to-action within the parameters of their approach or training of principals. Social justice is an effective tool for supporting Generation X students who willfully and actively participate in digital and physical campaigns against systematic racial injustice. Therefore, educational leaders should transcend authoritative leadership and systematic racism with social justice as a pivotal strategy for teachers of color.
