Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past 25 years or more, there has been a great deal of political discussion about the virtues of consciously diversifying workplaces, schools, neighborhoods, and other social institutions. Race, ethnicity, class, and gender diversification are most often the focus of these discussions, but these discussions also encompass religion, age, sexual orientation, nationality, and more. We are soliciting articles for this Special Issue that speak to how “diversity” has quickly become a numbing, vacuous agenda that many simply embrace in order to appear politically correct. Our primary concern is for how this all plays out in the public health community, given that much rides on the physical and mental health of our marginalized populous. Authors should address this concern and make suggestions for how we can better educate the public at large about what it means to genuinely embrace diversity and inclusion in the field of Public Health.
Note that contributions must follow one of the three categories of papers (article, conceptual paper or review) published in the journal and address the topic of the Special Issue.
