---- January 2010----
- Reducing Barriers to Native American Student Success in Higher Education: Challenges and Best Practices
What barriers do Native American and Alaskan Native students face in higher education? How are these barriers to student success being addressed theoretically and practically? To engage these questions, this special edition of the/ American Indian Culture and Research Journal/ seeks to open this dialogue, the expected result of which will be a compilation that professors and service providers may use to enhance American studies and other academic curricula. Contributors to this special edition are invited to explore a broad range of educational, cultural competence, mental health, advocacy, and efficacy concerns.
Barriers to Native American student success must be understood in a manner consistent with the diversity of challenges that Native Americans face in their pursuit of a postsecondary education. Other topics to be addressed include the efforts made by stakeholders to recruit and retain Native American students on university and college campuses, to assess their needs and the effectiveness of resources offered to counter resentment and historical trauma, and to uncover the most effective educational tools that enable students to obtain a quality education. It is my sincere hope that the discussions engaged by this assembly of scholars will illuminate the best practices being used to make Native American students competitive in the twenty-first century.
Although this point may seem simple, it is consistent with a small and complex body of literature that intersects with the fields of Native American studies, education, educational psychology, and the anthropology of education. The interdisciplinary works to be presented in this special edition ideally will examine various aspects of historical and contemporary challenges, as well as the best practices upon which Native American academic success has been based, in order to create a blueprint of both past practices and new avenues of research and practice.
Please email abstracts of no more than 50 words to Robert Keith Collins at rkc@sfsu.edu by January 12, 2010.

- Special Issue: Assessment of Emotion in Children and Adolescents
A special issue of the Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, guest edited by Janice Zeman and Cynthia Suveg, will be devoted to empirical research on the topic of emotion assessment in children and adolescents with a focus on creative applications of standard and novel developmental methodologies to this topic.Emotion regulation has been defined as the “extrinsic and intrinsic processes responsible for monitoring, evaluating, and modifying emotional reactions, especially their intensive and temporal features, to accomplish one’s goals” (Thompson, 1994, p. 27-28). As such, the regulation of emotion involves the management of diverse systems including physiological arousal, facial and behavioral expressions, motivation, inter- and intra-personal goals, and cognitive evaluations. The area of emotion regulation research in children is a relatively new domain marked by a dearth of emotion assessment tools and a critical need for improvement in methodological approaches (Cole, Martin, & Dennis, 2004). Fortunately, there is a growing awareness of the necessity to conduct emotion research using a multi-method approach in conjunction with a multi-level analysis (Larsen & Prizmic-Larsen, 2006; Solomon, 2002). Thus, important questions and investigations regarding the centrality of emotional functioning to children’s psychosocial adaptation are constrained due to the challenges facing researchers investigating these issues.
Manuscripts should be submitted by April 30, 2010, using the Elsevier Editorial System at: http://ees.elsevier.com/jecp. Manuscripts should be prepared in accordance with the usual guidelines [see the Guide for Authors on the journal homepage (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/jecp) for details and address]. Authors should indicate in their cover letters that they wish their manuscripts to be considered for the special issue on emotion assessment. All papers should be prepared for blind review. Manuscripts that meet JECP criteria for scientific merit and importance but that are not selected for the special issue may be published in a regular issue of JECP. Inquiries, including questions about appropriate topics, may be sent electronically to Janice Zeman (jlzema@wm.edu) or Cynthia Suveg (csuveg@uga.edu).
