SAGE Multimedia Encyclopedia of Women in Today's World.
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.
We are making assignments that are due March 2, 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.
