Aims and Scope

 

The Journal of Psychology, Gender, & Trauma accepts papers, commentaries, research summaries, creative pieces, and reviews regarding psychology, gender and/or trauma. It aims to promote discussion and awareness of intersecting issues related to gender (e.g. transgender, cisgender, intersex, non-binary), gender identity, gender dysphoria, violence, abuse, and rape. Intersectional and qualitative research approaches are encouraged. The journal is interdisciplinary and accepts novel and innovative forms of analysis.

 

Intersecting issues and subject positions beyond gender and trauma are also encouraged, such as analyses that consider race, class, sexuality and dis/ability. Commentaries or summaries of activist and community campaigns are welcomed.

 

The journal promotes feminist, critical and discursive psychology (other qualitative methodologies are also accepted). Academic submissions should avoid overly individualistic perspectives, and should include some critique of dominant psychological perspectives.

 

Submissions are encouraged from individuals at all stages of their career - and constructive feedback is provided to support and encourage writers. Accepted submissions are published in a rolling format - published as soon as they are complete.
