A living resource, not a definitive list. The EJ field is broad and growing. This collection highlights scholars whose work is most directly relevant to OEJE staff training development but does not represent every important voice. Every profile includes live source links. This resource will be continually updated based on input from training participants, EJ liaisons and community partners.
