Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The journal Societies is seeking submissions for a Special Issue focused on contemporary Indigenous peoples’ health. Health is broadly and holistically defined here and includes Indigenous physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, environmental, cultural, and community health. Manuscripts should be focused on research, projects, programs, interventions, and so forth, focusing on Indigenous peoples and/or in Indigenous communities in the Americas, Caribbean, Africa, Asia, Australia, or any other location with Indigenous peoples. Applied, ethnographic, theoretical, and visual approaches are welcome, as are any other approaches that are compatible with the journal’s scope. All academic disciplines are welcome, as are submissions from undergraduate and graduate students.
(*Contributions have to follow one of the three categories of papers (article, conceptual paper or review) of the journal and address the topic of the Special Issue.)
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
