Who's the "we" at R-word? Who's all on the editorial team? Do you have any organizational affiliations? Any links to socials?

Hi Lianna -

At present, I'm the whole "editorial team," though one of our writers has offered to help with copyediting. I really should at least run my own writing through her, as I often catch typos well after publication. Our list of contributors can be found here: https://rword.substack.com/about

If you're interested in applying to join the editorial team I'd be very happy to consider your application, which could be initiated with a simple email proposal.

We have no formal organizational affiliations, but do have a friendly, but informal, relationship with Resilience.org, Post Carbon Institute, and Deep Transformation Network.

One of our readers once created a Twitter account for The R-Word, but it quickly went into disuse and its creator disappeared. Otherwise, we have no links to social media. If you'd like to see that change let me know and we can talk about what we might do.

I'm going to say no to editing for now, I'm a new mom working on a dissertation! But I may be interested in future. Who's on the writing team? Towards the end of this year I may have some essays coming out of my dissertation on human-land relationships in agricultural landscapes including Indigenous and non-Indigenous perspectives. Topics I'll cover include wetland stewardship, restorative narratives, reconciliation, decolonizing agricultural landscapes and re-learning to see landscapes as interconnected land-water, ecosystem complex (combined complexes of wetland/grassland/forest), and human-nature systems. If there is interest in these topics here let me know and I'll reconnect towards the end of the year.

Thanks for the info!
