Editors' Introduction

[...]theories of place and land guide Leilani Sabzalian's essay on centering Indigenous perspectives in research and praxis related to transnational childhoods. In "A Study of Middle School Students' Online Credibility Assessments: Challenges and Possibilities" by Angela M. Kohnen, Gillian E. Mertens, Kara Dawson, John Hampton, and Danling Fu, the authors illustrate the constraints and opportunities confronting student readers in our densely networked age. [...]in "Freedom Dreaming in a Broken World: The Black Radical Imagination in Black Girls' Science Fiction Stories," S. R. Toliver centers the brilliance of Black children more broadly, and Black girls in particular. Drawing on a larger narrative inquiry project exploring how Black girls utilize storytelling to address social in/justice, the study builds upon the Black Radical Imagination as well as Critical Race English Education to show how three Black middle school girls used science fiction writing to imagine more just futures.
