The Medical Committee Netherlands Vietnam invites authors to submit contributions to a special themed issue of the international journal Culture, Health & Sexuality which will focus on sexual and reproductive health issues among minority ethnic groups in South-East Asia and South-West China. Topics of special interest include:
Agency. Rather than conceptualizing minorities as passive, the ability of minorities (and majority groups) to act and exert power, to both respond to and initiate change, will be recognized.
The sexual gaze. Dominant discourse in which minority ethnic communities (as Others) are portrayed as sexually loose can serve to justify a superior attitude and sexual exploitation by other groups.
Modes of governance. Effective and ineffective reproductive and sexual health interventions can be usefully contrasted, and government policies that are flexible towards gender and ethnic difference can be examined.
Gender and modernity. Minority ethnic groups may have particular ideas and practices related to gender and sexuality of which governments and development agencies are unaware, but influence many areas of reproductive and sexual health.
All papers included in special issues are reviewed in the normal way and only those that are recommended for publication by peer review will be accepted. The guest editors of this special issue will be Pauline Oosterhoff and Joanna White. Potential contributors are encouraged to submit a draft paper, prepared to the journals format (please see http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/journal.asp?issn=1369-1058&linktype=44) in advance to Pauline Oosterhoff (pauline_oosterhoff@yahoo.com) and Joanna White (jowhite67@yahoo.co.uk) by 15 September 2010 for pre-review.
Potential contributors are strongly advised to read the journal and the author guidelines before preparing a paper. Guidelines on the preparation of papers for publication in Culture, Health and Sexuality are available at http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/tf/13691058.html. Final papers must not exceed 7,500 words in total (including all references and notes) and should be submitted by 15 October 2010. Final papers should be submitted formally via the journals website http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/tchs
