Author Guidelines
Language and Content
Esurio is committed to encouraging critical dialogue and welcomes submissions from a diversity of perspectives, especially those from oppressed groups. However, all contributors should pay particular attention to avoiding discriminatory and oppressive language, content and inferences. Submissions that do not take this policy into account and are not sensitive to anti-discriminatory and/or anti-oppressive priorities will not be published.
Esurio will not knowingly publish material that is oppressive in content or style and the editorial board will assess how this statement is enacted. We welcome responses to this statement and our published material in relation to this statement.
All articles should be written in English and use clear, jargon-free language friendly to both academic and non-academic readers. Language does not need to be oversimplified or leave out essential information, but should make the content widely accessible.

The same contributor will have their contact details published in the journal for the purposes of allowing reader correspondence.
