Editor’s Essay: Resilience and Perseverance

Abstract

As we pass the one-year mark of the global pandemic that is COVID-19 and slog into yet another century of the social infection that is systemic racism, the term “resilience” has perhaps been overused to the point of meaninglessness. Nevertheless, I’d like to talk about what “resilience” might mean in the context of publishing in a peer-reviewed academic journal, as well as the relationship between resilience and perseverance.
