About the special issues
To highlight the importance of responsive, relevant and anti-oppressive practices, three art therapy journals collaborated internationally to publish sister special issues.
The issues included a diverse group of authors, peer reviewers, associate editors and editors with a broad range of lived and professional experiences. Each journal focussed on specific frameworks:
- International Journal of Art Therapy: Intersectionality
- Canadian Journal of Art Therapy: Re-indigenization and Anti-colonialism
- Art Therapy: Journal of the American Art Therapy Association: Cultural Humility
Everyone is welcome to join us on 1st December for conversations with authors from all three special issues and celebrate the diversity of art therapy practices represented through this international collaboration.
If you are a member of the British, Canadian, or American art therapy associations, you can access all of the special issues for free via your association’s website. Our members can access the journals via the memberzone.
