CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
Special Issue Feminism & Psychology
LGBTQ Health Psychologies: Charting the terrain
Guest Editors: Elizabeth Peel & Michael Thomson
When sexualities and health have intersected there has been a focus on
sexual health research. This Special issue expands the terrain of lesbian,
gay, bisexual, trans and queer (LGBTQ) health psychologies to address
physical health more broadly. We are interested in submissions informed by
feminist perspectives that focus on non-heterosexuality and health in
adulthood. We seek full length empirical and theoretical papers and shorter
commentary pieces. Contributions may engage with the following questions:
- What is LGBTQ health psychology?
- How should LGBTQ health psychology be theorised by feminists?
- How do feminist, epidemiological, critical, quantitative, and
qualitative
approaches inform LGBTQ health and illness?
- How can physical health and illness be conceptualised in LGBTQ
lives?
- What are the key issues in the management of illness (and
health) for
LGBTQ individuals, relationships and communities?
- Does aging provide a particular focus for researching LGBTQ
lives and
experiences?
- What are LGBTQ experiences of health policy, health services
and health
care professionals?
- What is the relationship between health psychology and
non-heterosexuality?
- What are the central issues for LGBTQ public health?
The guest editors would welcome early expressions of interest. The deadline
for submissions is 31st March 2008. Manuscripts (maximum 8000 words) and
informal enquiries should be sent to Elizabeth Peel or Michael Thomson:
