Call for Submission:The Journal of Colorism Studies (JOCS) is accepting submissions for a themed issue titled “Exploring the Psychological, Emotional, Physical and Social Impact of Global Colorism.” The theme is aligned with the second Ronald E. Hall Conference on Colorism scheduled for August 22, 2024 and August 23, 2024. Colorism involves distinctions based on skin color (light, medium or dark) and results in the favorable or unfavorable treatment, discrimination, biases, etc. of individuals based on the lightness or darkness of their skin color and can include other phenotypes. With its foundation deeply rooted in white superiority, white supremacy, white privilege, racism, prejudice and stereotypes, colorism is detrimental to the psychological, emotional, physical, and social well-being and is complex in nature (Colorism Project, 2006). Colorism occurs consciously and unconsciously, and acts of colorism can be intentional or unintentional, hence, the “complexity.” Colorism is one of the many issues impacting the global community intraracially and interracially involving racial and ethnic groups in various categories. The impact of this global phenomenon is traumatizing psychologically, emotionally, physically, and socially, and can impact overall well-being.
