Call for Papers

Special Issue: Community Psychology and Global Climate Change

Global climate change affects many aspects of our society and is receiving
increased international attention. While not currently a prevalent topic in
the field, Community psychology (CP) could play an important role in
societal efforts to deal with this crisis. As such, the purpose of this
special issue is to discuss the contributions community researchers and
practitioners have made and can make in the context of global climate change
and, thus, draw attention to this important and timely topic. Our goal is to
provide an interdisciplinary perspective given the multifaceted nature of
the problem and the needed multi-layered prevention and reaction efforts. We
invite contributions from all fields including, but not limited to, law,
economics, environmental sciences, social work, psychology, sociology, and
anthropology. Contributions may include such topics as discussions of how
global climate change will affect aspects of our communities, how to apply
CP theories, methodology, and techniques in the context of prevention and
reaction to the global climate crisis as well as examples of successful
collaborations with communities to address environmental issues. To
summarize, this collection of papers will make a case that community
psychology should be involved and will offer suggestions for how community
psychology might be involved in addressing global climate change and
environmental issues more generally.

We invite detailed outlines or lengthy abstracts (max. 5 pages) detailing
the potential contribution (including a tentative title). We welcome
research papers, discussions of action projects, and theoretical
contributions relevant to the topic described above. A subset of abstract
submissions will be selected to be developed into full manuscripts. All
manuscripts will then be blind-reviewed before final acceptance for
inclusion into the special issue. Electronic submissions (as an email
attachment) are preferred. Please feel free to contact us if you have any
questions or would like more information.

Deadline for abstract submission is November 15, 2007

Deadline for manuscripts is February 15, 2008
