Giorgio A. Tasca, Ph.D., Editor: Group Dynamics: Theory, Research, and Practice
Description
Group Dynamics: Theory, Research, and Practice and Division 49 of the American Psychological Association (the Society for Group Psychology and Group Psychotherapy) provides a Fellowship for a group psychology or group psychotherapy scholar from an historically excluded group. We encourage applications from individuals early in their career. The Fellow will be paired with Associate Editors or Editor on a rotating basis for a period of two years, after which the Fellow may be invited to join the editorial review board of Group Dynamics. The Journal has ongoing efforts to onboard already qualified people from historically excluded groups. This Fellowship is for individuals who want to have an impact on the field through engaging in the peer review process.
“Historically excluded” refers to individuals who identify as not being members of a dominant social identity group. This may include but is not exclusive to individuals who identify as members of the BIPOC and/or the LGBTQ communities.
The Fellow will work closely with the journal’s Editor and/or Associate Editors to develop their editorial skills. With the mentorship of the Editor or an Associate Editor, the Fellow will co-manage approximately 4 to 6 manuscripts over the course of a year. This process will include screening manuscripts for appropriateness, identifying reviewers, making an editorial decision based on reviews, and shepherding the manuscript through to publication if accepted. The successful candidate will also participate in bi-annual meetings of the editors, and monthly meetings with their mentor to ensure goals are met.
The Fellowship term is for 2 years starting on January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2024. The Fellowship comes with a $500 USD per year award provided by Division 49 of the American Psychological Association.
