GLIP Review

Latest issue

Journal history

At the 2004 Annual General Meeting of the Gay and Lesbian Issues and Psychology (GLIP) Interest Group of the Australian Psychological Society, a motion was passed that from 2005 the Interest Group’s Newsletter would be presented as a more formal, academic style review, to be titled Gay and Lesbian Issues and Psychology Review (GLIP Review). It was decided that such a format would allow for a more academic outlook for the GLIP Interest Group, and provide a much needed forum for publishing on issues relevant to LGBTI communities in Australia.

This decision was inspired by a similar move within the British Psychological Society’s Lesbian and Gay Psychology Section, who now produce a highly regarded Review that is published three times a year, and which has already garnered much support from both academic and lay LGBTI communities.

Journal remit

GLIP Review aims to encourage research that challenges the stereotypes and assumptions of pathology that have often inhered to research on lesbians and gay men (amongst others). The aim of the Review is thus to facilitate discussion over the direction of lesbian and gay psychology in Australia, and to provide a forum within which academics, practitioners and lay people may publish.

The Review is open to a broad range of material, and especially welcomes research, commentary and reviews that critically evaluate the status quo in regards to LGBTI issues. The Review also seeks papers that redress the imbalance that has thus far focused on the issues facing white lesbians and gay men, to the exclusion of other sexual and racial minority groups. As a result, we are interested in a wide range of academic, practitioner and lay work for inclusion in the Review, such as:

  • Empirical articles (5000 word max)
  • Commentary on LGBTI issues and psychology
  • Theoretical pieces
  • Personal narratives of LGBTI experience
  • Book reviews (please contact the Editor for a list of books available)
  • Conference reports
  • Practitioner reports/field notes
  • Political/media style reports of relevant issues
  • Promotional material for LGBTI relevant issues
  • Research in brief - reviews of a favourite/troublesome article/book chapter that you have read and would like to comment on

If you have anything else that you might feel would be of interest to the GLIP Review, please contact the Editor with a proposal or informal inquiry. We also welcome people interested in guest editing an issue on a specific topic – this could involve 'revisiting' a classic text in the area of lesbian and gay psychology, publishing a collection of papers from a conference, or focusing on a current topic relevant to LGBTI communities. We also especially welcome contributions from new researchers in the field, as well as from postgraduate students and practitioners. Finally, we welcome anyone interested in being on the editorial board of the Review, or in reviewing papers for the Review.

The Review is a fully peer-reviewed publication, and as such is currently eligible for DEST points.
