Whilst lesbian women, gay men, and bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer (LGBTIQ) people are typically excluded from normative forms of social order, they nonetheless continue to create their own forms of order. These intersections of exclusion and inclusion often result in complex health issues for LGBTIQ communities, particularly in relation to matters concerning families and citizenship. This special issue invites theoretical and empirical papers from across disciplines and theoretical perspectives addressing the following broad topics:
-
What influence do normative and/or re-negotiated understandings of community, family and citizenship have on the health of LGBTIQ people?
-
How do communities, families and forms of citizenship influence access to health care services among LGBTIQ people?
-
How are notions of community, family and citizenship deployed in health policy relevant to LGBTIQ health needs?
-
How do new forms of order within LGBTIQ communities potentially affect health outcomes for marginalised members of such communities?
Manuscripts should be submitted via email to both no later than 28th February, 2008 and should be between 4,000 and 6,000 words. Enquiries and/or manuscripts are encouraged from individuals marginalized by all forms of order, both normative and within LGBTIQ communities.
