The Journals of Gerontology Series B: Psychological Sciences and Social Sciences is announcing a special issue on widowhood and bereavement to be published in Fall 2013. The special issue will be a combined Psychological Sciences and Social Sciences publication. Gary Lee of Bowling Green State University will be the special issue's editor. We especially seek papers that address the issue of widowhood in innovative ways and from novel perspectives. Micro and macro level analyses as well as quantitative and qualitative approaches are welcome. A theoretical review that substantially advances the scientific understanding of widowhood and bereavement is welcome, but should be cleared with Merril Silverstein at The Journal of Gerontology: Social Sciences or Bob Knight at The Journal of Gerontology: Psychological Sciences in advance. Submissions are due November 1, 2012.
