CALL FOR AUTHORS: SAGE Multimedia Encyclopedia of Women in Today’s
World-New Expanded Online Volume
We are inviting academic editorial contributors to the Multimedia
Encyclopedia of Women in Today’s World, a new online library reference
that will look at women today around the world and delve into the
contexts
of being female in the 21st century. Thus the scope of the encyclopedia
will focus on women’s status starting in approximately 2000 and look
forward.
The new work will supplement the 4-volume print and online edition of
the
encyclopedia already in production. The 500 signed entries (with
cross-references and recommended readings) will cover issues in
contemporary women’s and gender studies and the articles will include
information relevant to the following academic disciplinary contexts:
women in different cultures/countries; arts and media; business and
economics; criminal justice; education; family studies; health; media;
military; politics; science and technology; sports; environmental
studies;
and religion.
The article submission due date is April 30, 2012.
This comprehensive project is being published in stages by SAGE
Reference
and will be marketed to academic and public libraries as a digital
product
available to students via the library’s electronic services. The
General
Editors, who will be reviewing each submission to the project, are Dr.
Mary Zeiss Stange of Skidmore College, and Dr. Carol K. Oyster of the
University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.
If you are interested in contributing to this cutting-edge reference,
it
is a unique opportunity to contribute to the contemporary literature,
redefining women’s issues in today’s terms. Moreover, it can be a
notable
publication addition to your CV/resume and broaden your publishing
credits.
SAGE Publications offers an honorarium ranging from SAGE book credits
for
smaller articles up to a free set of the printed product or access to
the
online product for contributions totaling 10,000 words or more.
The list of available articles is already prepared, and as a next step
we
will e-mail you the Article List (Excel file) from which you can select
topics that best fit your expertise and interests. Additionally, Style
and
Submission Guidelines will be provided that detail article
specifications.
If you would like to contribute to building a truly outstanding
reference
with the Multimedia Encyclopedia of Women in Today’s World, please
contact
me by the e-mail information below. Please provide a CV or brief
summary of
your academic/publishing credentials in women’s and gender issues.
