Finally, literacy and language organizations must invest in inviting, mentoring, and sustaining diversity in their membership, and particularly in their leadership. Organizations can work to “grow their own pipelines” (Gasman, 2016) of scholars of Color who can build their capacity, help to enact their mission, and ultimately lead the organization. The STAR program, sponsored by LRA, and the Cultivating New Voices among Scholars of Color program, sponsored by the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE), are two stellar examples of such efforts, but they are not the only models possible. It is paramount that the lived experiences and collective knowledges of early career scholars of Color, like the ones shared in this special issue, remain at the center of any efforts toward diversity, equity, and inclusion in literacy research and practice.
