    Human Relations Special Issue Call for Papers-  Reinventing Retirement: new pathways, new arrangements, new meanings

     
    Dear Colleagues:
     
    We're delighted to invite you and/or your colleagues to submit a paper to the Human Relations special issue on Reinventing retirement.  Please forward this e-mail onto anyone that may be interested.
     

    Call for Papers (see attachment)
    Deadline for submission: 31 January 2011
     

    Governments and organizations are realigning retirement goalposts, and baby boomers are exploring their late career and retirement options, and we ask whether our models for understanding the retirement process need to be reassessed and renewed. The purpose of this Special Issue is to advance novel ways of thinking about retirement by developing new theoretical perspectives and harnessing methodologies that focus on the multiple meanings of retirement and distinctive behavioural pathways. We welcome conceptual and empirical papers that make clear contributions to this effort.  These may include life course approaches, discursive or narrative methods, longitudinal assessments, or cross-cultural or generational perspectives, although they are not limited to these.  
     
    The Guest Editors for this Special Issue are very happy to discuss initial ideas for papers with potential authors, and may be contacted directly:
