A thematic issue of the Journal of Lesbian Studies tentatively titled Old Lesbians: exploring community,  kin, friendship, and well-being, to be edited by Peg Cruikshank and Sharon Raphael, invites short proposals for submissions or completed or nearly completed articles by January 15, 2014.  10-14 pp double spaced, APA style.  Review of current work or annotated bibliography on appropriate topics also welcome as is art or photography.  Authors of scholarly or activist submissions will use a feminist, race, class and age conscious perspective. Analysis of both internalized and institutional ageism encouraged. Personal narrative with issue analysis considered. Who comprises old lesbians’ (over sixty) community ideally and in reality?  How do variables of community, friendship, or kinship interact with our late-life health?
