\nThe Emerging Integration of Genetics in Social Work Practice and Research
\nDeadline: October 1, 2016<\/h4>\n
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.

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.

Black LGBT Health in the United States: At the Intersection of Race, Gender, and Sexual Orientation <\/span><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Deadline: March 1, 2016<\/h4>\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Although the social and legal environments for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals in the United States have changed rapidly in the last 20 years, these changes have not led to improved health outcomes for Black LGBT individuals. Yet, the empirical and theoretical literature on Black LGBT individuals is largely focused on the negative mental health of these communities (e.g., anxiety, depression, and psychological distress) and the public health disparities they face (i.e., HIV\/AIDS, smoking tobacco cigarettes). There are still knowledge gaps about Black LGBT people’s health-related cultural realities, strengths, protective factors, and indigenous meanings. Understanding how Black LGBT individuals understand their own health, overcome various biopsychosocial and spiritual barriers, and lead healthy lives can help researchers and providers develop interventions and strategies to promote the growth and development of Black LGBT individuals and their communities.

Migrant Workers: Social Identity, Occupational Challenges and Health Practice<\/span><\/h4>\n

Deadline: August 1, 2015<\/h4>\n

The regulation of migration and the rights of migrant workers are among the most controversial policy issues around the world. In public debates, migrants can be development “heroes” for both receiving and departing communities, “free riders” who threaten the job and welfare security in host communities, and\/or “victims” of exploitation by employers and by migration policies as well. Theoretical arguments that favor open-border policies emphasize the responsibility liberal democracies have to promote global and\/or distributive justice; proponents for migration restriction argue that equal rights protection for migrants runs against the interests of states and even migrant workers themselves.\u00a0 Consequently, countries around the world have adopted various practices of protecting (or regulating) migrant workers and promoting migrant friendly communities.\u00a0 Differential policy regimes and practices are influencing migrant workers’ wellbeing across diverse domains. This volume will address this timely and challenging topic. Click here<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n
