Researchers are invited to submit a paper to Qualitative Psychology for a special issue on discursive psychology. This journal is a publication of The Society for Qualitative Inquiry in Psychology (a section of APA Division 5).
Discursive psychology (DP) is an established field of research within psychology (for overviews, see Tileaga & Stokoe, 2016; Wiggins, 2017). We seek articles that showcase DP in any established or emerging sphere of scholarly interest. Articles may examine any area of discursive psychological focus, either informed by conversation analysis and/or cognate approaches (ethnomethodology, membership categorization analysis). Articles should concentrate on DP’s position and contribution in a specific topic area by including an overview of classic and contemporary bodies of work that advance qualitative research in and beyond psychology. Guest editors encourage contributors to be explicit about DP’s contribution to advancing inquiry in psychology and are particularly interested in theoretical, empirical, or methodological articles that present innovation or state-of-the-art developments in the field.
