CFA: SAGE Multimedia Encyclopedia of Women in Today’s World-New Volume

CALL FOR AUTHORS: SAGE Multimedia Encyclopedia of Women in Today’s

World-New 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 250 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 May 13, 2011.

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 brief summary of your

academic/publishing credentials in women’s and gender issues.

Thanks very much.
