Dr. Lillian Comas Díaz has promoted racial healing and liberation through her outstanding work as an editor, co founding APA Division 45 journal Cultural Diversity & Ethnic Minority Psychology, co editing books on a range of topics including liberation psychology (Rivera & Comas Díaz, 2020), and serving as an associate editor and guest editing several special issues in American Psychologist. The purpose of this interactive panel discussion is to honor her legacy by considering her contributions, as well as challenges, opportunities, and new directions in editorial work for healing and liberation, addressing questions such as: How has Dr. Comas Díaz scholarship impacted us as individuals and as a field? How can editorial spaces help us name and resist racism and to work collectively towards healing and liberation from racial trauma? What is the role of journals, special issues, and edited volumes in raising critical consciousness, affirming our humanity, advancing intersectionality, promoting our wellbeing, and honoring the contributions of Women of Color? How can editorial teams and projects create sustainable coalitions among People of Color? How can we reconcile the logic of capitalism behind many of our editorial practices (unpaid labor) with the logic of racial healing and liberation (reparations)?
