Call for papers - ACP Special Issue on Gender and Violence

[Announcement from SCRA-L]

Call for papers

THE AUSTRALIAN COMMUNITY PSYCHOLOGIST, Vol.27, Issue 2
Special Issue on Violence and Gender

Editorial Board: Heather Gridley (Victoria University, Australia), Carmel O’Brien (Doncare, Australia), Dr Nicole Allen (University of Illinois, USA), Dr Liz Short (Victoria University, Australia), Dr Peter Streker (Director, Community Stars).

The second issue of 2015 will be a special issue devoted to violence and gender. Contributions by practitioners and community activists as well as academics and researchers are invited. Contributions which draw on theoretical frameworks relating to feminist and/or community psychology are especially welcome. It is expected that a major focus will be male violence against women in intimate relationships; however submission on other aspects of gender and violence will be considered.

If you are thinking about submitting a paper, you need to be mindful of the following points:

  • Our definition of Feminist Psychology is the same as that of the journal Feminism & Psychology: that which acknowledges gender and other social inequalities (e.g. race, class, disability, or sexuality) and considers their psychological effects.
Papers should be submitted electronically as an email attachment in Microsoft Word. Please refer to the Australian Community Psychologist guide for detailed information on the preparation, submission and publication of manuscripts: http://www.groups.psychology.org.au/Assets/Files/Preparation_of_manuscripts.pdf  

The deadline for submissions is Friday 17th July 2015. It is anticipated the issue will be published in November 2015.

Early discussion of possible contributions is encouraged by contacting:
