Subject: Call for Papers - Mental Health, Discourse, and Stigma

Dear colleagues,

We are seeking contributions for a special collection on "Mental
Health, Discourse, and Stigma"  in the journal BMC Psychology. The
special collection seeks to publish sociolinguistic work on mental
health and stigma. Contributions are expected to utilize established
methods in sociolinguistics such as discourse analysis, conversation
analysis, and corpus linguistics (amongst others). We especially
welcome papers from the Global South and non-Anglophone contexts. The
published editorial for the collection provides further scope about
the collection and can be found here: https://bmcpsychology.biomedcent
ral.com/articles/10.1186/s40359-023-01210-6.

Submissions will be welcomed at any point up until 10 October 2023,
but if you are able to submit a manuscript before this date, please
feel free to do so.

To submit your manuscript as part of this Collection, please follow
the steps on the website
(https://www.biomedcentral.com/collections/mhds) and follow the
relevant instructions. All the manuscripts submitted to a Collection
are assessed according to the standard BMC Psychology editorial
criteria and peer review process and are subject to all standard
journal policies. If accepted for publication, an article processing
charge applies (with standard waiver policy).

We believe that this collection is a great opportunity to highlight
this important area of research, and we hope you will be able to
contribute.

Kind regards,
David Matthew Edmonds, Olga Zayts-Spence, Zoe Fortune (Guest Editors
of Special Collection).

BMC Psychology is calling for submissions to our Collection on Mental
Health, Discourse, and Stigma.

In recent years, the COVID-19 pandemic and other socio-cultural
upheavals have brought mental health to the forefront as a matter of
pressing public health concern. Despite innumerable public awareness
campaigns, mental health and stigma remain taboo topics in many places
around the world. Mental health and stigma have traditionally been
approached in psychology from individualistic, biomedical, and
cognitivist perspectives. Yet, in recent years there has been an
increasing amount of sociolinguistic research that acknowledges the
central role that language has in constructing, resisting, and
reproducing mental health and stigma. We welcome submissions that
cover but are not limited to the mentioned aspects of sociolinguistic
research in mental health.

The format of submissions includes research articles, reviews, case
reports, and meta-analyses, among others.
