Check out these upcoming opportunities:
1. Social Science and Medicine Special Issue titled “Complex Effects of Racism and Discrimination on African Americans’ Health: Navigating the Status Quo”:
The goal of this special issue is to examine within-group heterogeneity in African Americans’ responses to varying manifestations of racism and discrimination, as well as heterogeneity in the effects of racism and discrimination on African Americans’ health and well-being. Topics include explicitly examining system-level effects of racism on individual-level outcomes; modeling the effects of proposed moderators of the effects of racism and discrimination on health (i.e., when, where, and for which African Americans do racism and discrimination affect health, and for which health outcomes is this the case?); attending to differences in how various assessments and conceptualizations of racism and discrimination affect health outcomes (e.g., attributions of perceived racism, racism towards self vs group, overt vs covert racism); and considering intersectionality (e.g., the intersection of race and gender) as it relates to the effects of racism and race-based discrimination. To facilitate broader understanding of the role of national contexts, we are also seeking research examining similar dynamics among minoritized or stigmatized Black individuals from countries outside of the United States.
To submit an abstract for consideration, please email as an attachment (word or pdf) to [email protected] by September 6th, 2021. Corresponding authors will be notified of decisions by September 13th, 2021. Full invited manuscripts must be submitted by November 5th, 2021.
2. International Psychogeriatrics is requesting papers for a special issues on “Social Relationships and Mental Health in the Second Half of Life.”
Markus Schafer – part of the NSHAP family – is one of the editors.
A special issue that will specifically focus on the meaningful associations between social relations and mental health in the second half of life. Submission of timely manuscripts are encouraged, and will be examined in the context of the ongoing pandemic as well as in other contexts. “We are especially interested in clinical research employing quantitative and/or qualitative methods with sufficient sample sizes as well as randomized controlled intervention trials aiming to alleviate loneliness and enhance social relations in the second half of life. We believe that the proposed special issue will help develop both the theoretical and practical understanding of older adults’ mental health, capturing the unique social contexts in the second half of life.”
Abstract due by Sept. 1, and if invited, the full papers are due Feb. 1, 2022. Special issue out by January 2023.
