Call for Papers for a Special Issue of Women, Gender, and Families of Color: Race, Gender, and Disability

Abstracts Due: 6/1/13

Manuscripts Due: 10/20/2013

Despite discourse on gender/sexuality and race/ethnicity or gender and disability, there are few studies about the intersections of race, gender and disability from a critical perspective. This issue will focus on articles that analyze these intersections from different disciplinary perspectives. Categories include interrogations into the lives of people of color and white subjects from a critical whiteness perspective; gender as it encompasses interrogations of femininity, masculinity, transgender, or intersex subjectivity and any form of sexual expression and identity and their intersection; and disability to encompass impairment and the socio-cultural aspects that accompany it.

Topics include but not limited to:

Family caregiving or parenting at the intersections of gender/race/disability

Lived experiences of disabled women/people of color

Representations of disability in families of color in films and literature

News and media representations of race, disability and gender/sexuality

Historical analysis that highlights these intersections (e.g., eugenics)

Policy, activism and interventions that empower disabled people of color

Articles connecting disability studies, queer theory and women's studies to critical race theory and critical whiteness studies

Analysis of policies related to education, employment, immigration and incarceration that centers on the intersections of race, gender and ability.

Call for Papers: Special Issue of Sexual and Relationship Therapy: Sexuality and Ageing

Deadline for abstract submission is the end of December 2013

Call for Submissions for a Special Issue of Anthropology & Aging Quarterly: The Aging Body

Deadline for submissions: June 1, 2013

This issue will focus on the aging body not only in terms of biophysical processes of maturation, but also in terms of the aging body’s cultural elaboration, its articulations with other “bodies,” such as Lock and Scheper-Hughes’ formulation of the social and political “body,” and the representation and manipulation of the “old body” through images, technologies, rituals, policies, movements and health practices. We are interested not only in articles that challenge notions of the older body as merely frail or decrepit, but also articles that push conceptual and methodological boundaries of “the body” in its social and cultural contexts. As with many accepted theories in anthropology, theories of the body and embodiment are often framed with an implicit body in mind, and while this implicit body has been usefully critiqued from the perspective of gender, queer, and disability studies, anthropologists studying old age and aging are still developing their own distinct voice in this conversation. This issue of AAQ will draw out the diversity of approaches to the aging body, the challenges they bring to anthropological theories of the body, and the unique contributions of the anthropology of aging to this field.

Topics might include:

-- The ways the aging body is (mis)recognized through demographic and statistical discourse
-- The use of the aging body as a form of resistance to the hegemony of youth
-- Aging bodies as erotic bodies
-- Aging bodies as a challenge to notions of biopolitics
-- Depictions of the aging body vs. other bodies in popular media and/or artistic works
-- Cosmetics and pharmaceutical re-shaping of the aging body
-- Caring for the body as caring for the self
-- Bodily adornment and beautification
-- Pain and the body in old age
-- Discourses and institutions that deindividuate or depersonalize the body
-- Body, memory, and aging in place
-- Gender and the aging body
