Dear Friends, Please find below a call for papers of the special issue of Violence Against Women. Many thanks. Jody Raphael Center for Impact Research ------------- CALL FOR PAPERS SPECIAL ISSUE OF VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN SUBJECT: POVERTY AND VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN Feminists have long argued that violence against women is a form of social control with wide-ranging effects. Violence may decrease economic well-being through interference with education, training, and work, may increase dependence on welfare, may sometimes sabotage control of reproduction, and may cause or aggravate alcohol and drug abuse and other barriers to work. This special issue of Violence Against Women, the third on the topic, will explore the nexus of violence and poverty. The editors especially encourage research or practice-based articles (20-25 pages inclusive) with strong discussions of implications for public policy and future research. Papers should address the following questions or issues (not exhaustive): 1. What are the diverse connections between poverty and violence against women? How do these experiences vary by context (race/ethnicity, immigrant status, welfare status, occupation, etc.)? 2. What are the connections between violence against women and alcohol, drug abuse, physical and mental health issues, and teen pregnancy as they relate to poverty, unemployment, and welfare usage? 3. What are successful programmatic and policy responses to these issues? 4. What are the theoretical implications of understanding the impacts of violence on women's poverty? Interested authors should submit an abstract of their proposed paper (approximately 500 words) by August 15, 2002 to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Questions and queries can be directed to the same address. Eventual submissions will be externally reviewed. Guest editors Jody Raphael, Center for Impact Research Richard M. Tolman, University of Michigan Lisa D.
