Dear Colleagues,
AUSTRALIAN COMMUNITY PSYCHOLOGIST, Vol. 21, Issue 2.
Call for Papers: Special Issue on Fly-in/Fly-out Employment
Editors: Guest editor, Anne Sibbel (Reflective Practice) with Lauren Breen, PhD (Edith Cowan University)
The second issue of 2009 will be a special issue devoted to presenting research and articles relating to fly-in/fly-out (FIFO) employment and its impacts on employees, their families and communities. Although FIFO has been used by the International and Australian Resources sectors for more than 30 years, the number of companies offering FIFO employment, and people choosing this lifestyle, have increased rapidly over the last decade thus making it more visible in society and broadening its influence on communities and their members. The number of sectors offering FIFO employment has also increased. For example, some remote and rural areas are serviced by fly-in/fly-out medical, legal and educational officers. Much of the recent research on FIFO remains unpublished, thus the intention of this issue is to showcase some of this. Both Australian and International manuscripts are invited.
Manuscripts may be of a theoretical or empirical focus and may be drawn from research projects or reflections on practice issues.
We anticipate the issue will be published in November, 2009.
Review Process
All papers submitted will be blind-reviewed by two reviewers. Reviewers will be selected on their ability to critically engage with the material presented in the manuscript.
