Dear EPSA community, We would like to invite for the editorship of two special issues of the Journal of Elections, Public Opinion and Parties (JEPOP), under the general supervision of the current editorial team and the associate editors. We are accepting proposals for two separate special issues, each accompanied by up to £1,500 in financial support to host an organizing workshop for the special issue. The first special issue is thematic, and focuses, broadly speaking, on dynamics of disinformation, conspiracy theories, and affective polarization. We are particularly keen to receive proposals that tackle these issues in a comparative fashion, and/or focusing on the psychological mechanisms associated with the processing of (and resistance against) disinformation and fake news, the underpinnings and consequences of beliefs in conspiracy theories, and the individual and group roots of affective polarization and outgroup principle dislike. Proposals that cut across several of these topics - e.g., whether an affinity towards conspiracy theories lowers the defense mechanisms against persuasive disinformation - are particularly welcomed. The deadline to submit a proposal for this first, thematic special issue is April 16, 2023. See the attached document or the journal website <https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/fbep20/special-issues#siProp>for additional information. We look forward to hearing more about your proposals!
