Diversity Competence and Social Inequalities, 2nd Edition

Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Social inequalities constitute an urgent challenge in contemporary societies and a domain that needs immediate attention in these uneasy and uncertain times. The diversity competence of service providers has been acknowledged as an important skill to help reduce social disparities in various domains, such as healthcare, social services, education, migration, etc. We are calling for papers whose theoretical, methodological, and substantive approaches advance our thinking around inequity and address issues that are frequently marginalised or neglected in research. This Topic aims to offer a space for health topics, geographical areas, individuals, and communities, all of which are often vulnerable and neglected in research, policies, and in practice. This Topic welcomes innovative contributions on social inequalities, inequalities in healthcare, and diversity competence based on research from a range of methodological orientations. Research articles, reviews, and concept papers are welcome and should focus on inequalities in all sectors, including healthcare and healthcare education, in addition to any of the following concepts: diversity competence, cultural competence, structural competence, intercultural communication, cultural awareness, cultural humility, cultural sensitivity, cultural empathy, cultural intelligence, etc.

In the event that your work is not reflected in the above description and you are interested in submitting it to this Topic, please contact Professor Costas S Constantinou (constantinou.c@unic.ac.cy).
