SOCIAL SCIENCE & MEDICINE
CALL FOR PAPERS
SPECIAL ISSUE OF THE JOURNAL
ON
'CONFLICT, VIOLENCE AND HEALTH'
For the above Special Issue, Social Science & Medicine invites submissions that address the broad categories of conflict, violence and health and explore relationships between them. To promote cross‐over between academic disciplines, we are collaborating with two other journals: The Lancet and The Danish Medical Journal. Each journal will produce their own call for papers and Special Issue on this theme.
For Social Science & Medicine, we invite articles that explore the societal and health consequences of
violence in both its spectacular and everyday forms, at levels of transnational interventions, interpersonal relations, and local worlds. We welcome interdisciplinary submissions as well as submissions from any of the disciplines of the Journal (Medical Anthropology, Health Economics, Social Epidemiology, Medical Geography, Health Policy, Health Psychology, Medical Sociology). Submissions may be reviews which set out conceptual frameworks and future directions for research and intervention, as well as empirical work and commentaries that situate themselves critically in the social sciences and applied literature.
All papers should address issues related to health and wellbeing. Papers can be up to 8000 words. Potential domains of inquiry include:
•Healthcare delivery and social dynamics in conflict and post‐conflict settings.
•Evaluation of transnational institutions, community‐based interventions, and local priorities.
•Military, community‐level and domestic violence, including gang, gender‐based, ethnic and inter‐generational violence.
•Institutionalized violence, trafficking of humans, abuse of human rights.
•Justice mechanisms, ethical and political aspects of extreme violence, trauma and healing.
The Guest Editors of this Special Issue are Catherine Panter‐Brick (Durham University, UK, catherine.panter‐[log in to unmask]) and Kimberly Theidon (Harvard University, USA, [log in to unmask]). The deadline for submissions is 9 March 2009, and authors should submit online at http://ees.elsevier.com/ssm/. When asked to choose article type, authors should stipulate "Special Issue Article", and in the "Enter Comments" box the title of the Special Issue should be inserted, plus any further acknowledgements.
