Call for Book Chapters
The Emerging Integration of Genetics in Social Work Practice and Research
Deadline: October 1, 2016
The role of genetics in relation to the social work profession has evolved from social workers occupying traditional practitioner roles to that of researchers and scientists. Social workers are key actors in public policy forums; setting national and international standards related to the ethical concerns of genomic exploration. As members of interdisciplinary teams, social work researchers examine genetic disclosure distress and measure the risk revealed by genotypes and mental health conditions. This book builds upon previous treatments of the subject by discussing public policy issues, bioethics, gene by environment interactions, epigenetics, established and emerging practice issues, and future frontiers of social workers in the interdisciplinary sphere of genetics. Please submit abstracts of potential chapters (500 words) to geneticsocialwork@gmail.com.
Call for Book Chapters
Narrating Perspectives in Childhood and Adolescence
Deadline: October 10, 2016
We propose a new and engaging book that addresses developments in essential topics across the child and adolescent ecological system. These include advancements in cognitive development and transitions, family and neighborhood interactions, race and culture, and health and mental health, but also emerging discourse in areas such as transnational experiences, the impact of social media, sexual exploitation, generational effects of mass incarceration, and outcomes from influential policies such as the Affordable Care Act and No Child Left Behind.
