<P><FONT size=2>Hi folks<BR>Please note the call for submissions for the AJCP. It would be great to get some articles from Australia and New Zealand published.<BR><BR>-ANNOUNCEMENT: Special issue on cultural-community psychology in American Journal of Community Psychology<BR><BR>This is a call for proposals for a special issue of the American Journal of Community Psychology on cultural-community psychology. We seek proposals that consider how culture might be more fully integrated into community psychology. While community psychologists have been working with diversity and cultural issues for decades, the field has not yet engaged in deep interdisciplinary dialogue with psychology‚s sub-disciplines that focus on the study of culture, nor with anthropology. This special issue invites papers to consider how culturally based theory, method, and practice might enhance core components of community psychology. In this issue we will take a broad view of culture as shared beliefs, meanings, and practices, to include ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, class, age cohort, nationality, organization, and even community. Theoretical/conceptual, methodological, and empirical papers are welcome, with preference given to reports that illuminate/illustrate more general problems in the convergence of culture and community psychology. Abstracts of proposed papers are invited and will be reviewed from which the editors will invite full-length paper submissions. Abstracts should be one single-spaced page in length (500 words) and are due by February 15, 2008. Editors for this issue are Mark Aber, Michael Kral and Jorge Ramirez Garcia. Please submit paper abstracts via email to:<BR>AJCP-culture@cyrus.psych.uiuc.edu<BR><BR><BR>-----Original Message-----<BR>From: Michael Kral [<A href="mailto:mkral@cyrus.psych.uiuc.edu">mailto:mkral@cyrus.psych.uiuc.edu</A>]<BR>Sent: Tue 22-Jan-08 6:16 PM<BR>To: Rose Black<BR>Subject: Call for submissions<BR><BR>Dear Rose Black:<BR><BR>I found your name on a website of the Institute for Community Psychology,<BR>New Zealand Psychological Society.
