THE AUSTRALIAN COMMUNITY PSYCHOLOGIST, Vol. 22, Issue 1.

Special Issue on Psychology & Poverty Reduction

Editors: David Fryer (Charles Sturt University) Lauren Breen (Edith Cowan University)

The first issue of 2010 will be a special issue devoted to community critical psychology approaches to poverty reduction. Contributions by: people with first hand experience of poverty; poverty activists; members of organisations committed to poverty reduction; as well as papers by academics and researchers, are invited. Contributions which contribute, from a community critical standpoint, towards the development and implementation of practically effective, politically engaged, ideologically progressive reduction or prevention of poverty or which critique the role of acritical psychology and the psy industry in poverty construction and maintenance are especially welcome. Authors from anywhere in the world are invited to contribute but especially those writing from communities impoverished and immiserated by colonisation and globalisation. Innovative modes of communication using a variety of forms of text are welcome. Electronic submission as an email attachment in Microsoft Word is preferred but those without - or with only restricted access to - the means to do this (word processor, internet access etc.) are invited to discuss other arrangements (the submission of hand written manuscripts etc). Those for whom writing in English is problematic are invited to negotiate submission arrangements which would not disadvantage them. 

This Special Issue of The Australian Community Psychologist will be one of a large number of Special Issues of Journals around the world which will collectively constitute a 'Global Special Issue on Psychology & Poverty Reduction'. The deadline for submissions is January 15 2010. It is anticipated the issue will be published in May 2010. 

Early discussion of possible contributions with the Guest Editor of this Special Issue, David Fryer, is encouraged by emailing him at dafryer at csu.edu.au <mailto:dafryer at csu.edu.au>  or writing to him at: Community Critical Psychology, School of Social Sciences and Liberal Studies, Charles Sturt University, Bathurst, NSW 2795 Australia or telephoning him on (02) 6338 4450.
