Inclusivity Statement
As our name suggests, A Common Place seeks to be a welcoming community for all people. We will not accept submissions that promote racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, xenophobia, or prejudice of any kind. These submissions will be rejected immediately. At the discretion of the editors, and at any point, an author may be banned from submitting future work, and any previously published works may be removed from the journal.
