AESA Perspectives Journal
After thoughtful consideration, AESA has made the decision to discontinue Perspectives Journal. This change aligns with our evolving communications strategy and our commitment to exploring new, more dynamic ways to share member stories and research. Many of our members are now publishing thought leadership on other platforms, and we encourage you to continue doing so. Please contact Claire Sowder when your work is published so she can share it with the AESA network.Â
Although new issues will no longer be produced, the Perspectives archive will remain available and searchable on the AESA website, preserving the journal’s legacy and continuing to serve as a valuable resource for our members.
