We are inviting academic editorial contributors to the Multimedia
Encyclopedia of Women in Today’s World, a new print and electronic
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 work will present state-of-the-art research,
ready-to-use facts. The 1,000 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 with a
submission due date of December 1, 2009.

This comprehensive project will be published in stages by SAGE Reference
and will be marketed to academic and public libraries as a print and
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

CFP: The Construction of "Memory" in Asia, EAA (journal; 20 Dec; spring 2009)

Remember that EAA is looking for relatively short pieces aimed primarily to educators at the secondary and undergraduate level. A number of EALC students have published in this journal. It's a great way to get your feet wet, if you haven't already.

Call for Manuscripts: The Construction of "Memory" in Asia, EAA Spring 2009

Education About Asia (EAA) is the peer-reviewed teaching journal of the
Association for Asian Studies. Our readers include undergraduate
instructors as well as high school and middle school teachers. Our
articles are intended to provide educators, who are often not specialists,
with basic understanding of Asia-related content. Manuscripts submitted
for consideration are evaluated by qualified referees.

We are in the process of developing a special section in the spring 2009
issue entitled "History, Literature, and the Construction of "Memory" in
Asia." It is hoped that articles will be published where authors develop
manuscripts that will enable teachers and students to better understand
how academic and popular historical narratives and works of literature
influence the way Asians perceive their past and those of other cultures.
Manuscripts will also be considered where authors address how history and
literature influence a non-Asian's perception of Asia. I am looking for
essays that will be particularly applicable to educated non-specialists.
We are especially interested in obtaining more manuscripts that focus upon
South and Southeast Asia.

Prospective authors should be aware that approximately sixty percent of
our readers are secondary or middle school teachers and the rest teach at
the undergraduate level. Therefore, we are most interested in manuscripts
that are useful for survey-level courses.

Prospective authors should consult the EAA guidelines, available on the
Web site under my signature, before submitting a manuscript for this
special section. Prospective authors are also encouraged to share possible
manuscript ideas with me via email. The deadline for initial receipt of
manuscripts for this special section is December 20, 2008.

"China Vision" (publication; 1 Oct)

It's a bit late but if you already have something pretty much ready to go....

--
GLIMPSE explores the variety of aspects of visual perception by publishing relevant works from the physical sciences, social sciences, arts, and humanities. GLIMPSE examines the functions and processes of vision and its implications for being, knowing, and constructing our world/s. Each theme-focused journal issue features articles and essays, artists' visual essays, interviews, and reviews.
GLIMPSE invites submissions for upcoming themed issues. Since we strive to spark inquiry and dialogue across disciplines, and across academic and non-academic audiences alike, it is important that our articles avoid jargon and be accessible to readers from diverse backgrounds. Stylistically, we are more like a magazine than an academic journal, however, in depth of content, we value conceptual precision and rigor.

CFP: "The Construction of "'Memory' in Asia," spec iss of EAA Spring 2009 <20 Dec.; journal>

As I've noted before, EAA is a relatively easy way to get a pub on the CV by writing about something you're interested in.

Education About Asia (EAA) is the peer-reviewed teaching journal of the Association for Asian Studies. Our readers include undergraduate instructors as well as high school and middle school teachers. Our articles are intended to provide educators, who are often not specialists, with basic understanding of Asia-related content.

We are in the process of developing a special section in the spring 2009 issue entitled "History, Literature, and the Construction of 'Memory' in Asia." In this special section, it is hoped that articles will be published where authors develop anuscripts that will enable teachers and students to better understand how academic and popular historical narratives and works of literature influence the way Asians perceive their past and those of other cultures. I am looking for essays that will be particularly applicable to educated non-specialists.

We are seeking manuscripts about all areas of Asia. Prospective authors should be aware that approximately sixty percent of our readers are secondary or middle school teachers and the rest teach at the undergraduate level.

CFP: History of Feminist Thought (incl Ch & Jp) (encyclopedia entries; 15 Oct)

They are currently seeking contributors to annotate primary source documents in women's history including on China and Japan--in areas that overlap with the interests of some students in EALC. As you probably know, encyclopedia entries aren't exactly gold on a CV, but they're definitely a good way to get started on publications.

I am seeking another round of contributors for an anthology of global documents related to the History of Feminist Thought, to be published by Greenwood Press. This 2-volume set will present approximately 250 primary source documents, tracing responses and challenges to the subordination of women within different national, cultural, and political contexts at different times throughout history. It is a much-needed project in recovering women's voices and incorporating the story of women's rights into the larger themes of world history. In some cases, this will be the first English-language publication of a document and so the possibilities for future research based on our collection are exciting, to say the least.


BELOW is a chronological list of entries for which contributors are currently needed. The main focus of each entry is the primary source document. Contributors will assist in selecting excerpts to use and will write brief contextual essays to accompany the excerpt. Each entry will be approximately 1500 words total, to include both the excerpt and the analysis/context.

Please look over the list for a wide range of geographical and chronological areas of interest - you need not be familiar with an
individual writer or document to write an entry. In most cases, I have already compiled some bibliographical or other information on the specific document and will pass that research on to you to assist you in writing the entry. I will send complete contributor guidelines as well as sample entries to interested writers.

The deadline for these entries is October 15, 2008. The honoraria is $40.00 per entry - contributors completing 4 or more entries may choose a copy of the published set (valued at $225.00) in lieu of cash payment.

PLEASE circulate this call to colleagues at other institutions, to graduate students, or to other interested scholars/writers.

Thank you and I look forward to working with an international community of scholars on this exciting project!

Call For Submissions: National Association of Student Anthropologists (NASA) Anthropology News column (rolling deadline)

Anthropology News – NASA Section


The National Association of Student Anthropologists (NASA), the student section of the American Anthropological Association, is issuing a call for submissions for its Anthropology News column.

Background
The National Association of Student Anthropologists was founded in 1985 to address graduate and undergraduate student concerns and to promote the interests and involvement of students as anthropologists-in-training. Each month during the academic year, NASA publishes a short column in Anthropology News that focuses on issues of interest and importance to student anthropologists. Anthropology News (AN) is the world’s most widely distributed anthropological publication.

Topics
NASA welcomes submissions for its monthly column in the form of articles, essays, creative writing, teaching material, or book reviews. Possible topics for submission include:

* Views on current and/or controversial issues in anthropology. (e.g. How does the ethics review process (IRB) affect student training and research? What types of constructive relationships might be forged between US anthropology students and anthropology students outside the US?)

* Comparative reflections from students who have studied anthropology outside of the United States and at American institutions

* Opinions on the strengths and weaknesses of student training at the undergraduate and graduate levels. (e.g. What adjustments might departments make to better train their undergraduates for graduate school and/or better train their graduate students for field work, teaching, and entering the job market?)

* Insights or advice on the challenges and realities of being an anthropology student. (e.g. finding a mentor, applying to graduate school, student teaching, grant writing, publishing, conference participation, paper presentations, fieldwork, writing the thesis or dissertation)

* Reviews of recently published books or films (or other media) that address topics of interest to student anthropologists.

* Opportunities for students, such as internships, funding, or training programs (e.g. in research methodologies)

Guidelines
If you are interested in contributing, please contact Jenny Chio with a 50-100 word abstract. If your article is accepted for NASA’s column, you will be notified by email and sent a style guide to help you prepare your submission. Submissions should be of general interest to student anthropologists and should not exceed 675 words. The deadline is rolling, as the column is published throughout the academic year. We’d also welcome your suggestions on other topics to address in the NASA column.

We want to hear from you!

CFP: Medieval World (encyclopedia) (no deadline noted)

Dear Colleague,

On behalf of the editorial board, I invite writers to contribute one or
more articles to The Encyclopedia of Society and Culture in the Medieval
World. This four-volume set will be published by Facts On File in
conjunction with another four-volume set, The Encyclopedia of Society and
Culture in the Ancient World. Writing for the Medieval World set will take
place under the direction of the editor in chief, Pam Crabtree, with the
aid of a board of editorial advisers for separate regions of the world. I
am the board editor for the Asia and Pacific section.

The four-volume Medieval World set covers the fall of Rome to the start
of the Renaissance, which in Asia and Pacific terms would be from the mid
part of the first millennium A.D. to European contact. The entries are
arranged A to Z by 71 headwords, from "adornment" through "writing" and
including such topics as art, death and burial practices, education,
natural disasters, science, and trade and exchange. Each entry (headword)
is composed of an introduction that outlines the major developments in
chronological sequence, followed by subsections on five major regions:
Europe, Africa, Asia and the Pacific, the Americas, and the Islamic World.
The regional subsections under most of the entry terms will be about 1,665
words in length. The regional subsections for fourteen major topics (such
as "art" and "social organization") will be covered in 4,000 words. The
set is meant for high-school or community-college use and for the general
public. Authors will be provided renumeration, depending on the length of
the article.

If you have an interest in participating, please write to the project
manager, Marcia Merryman Means, at marcia@schlagergroup.com. We also
welcome graduate student authors for these entries and would appreciate it
if you could pass on this message to any of your graduate students you
think might be interested.

Sincerely,

Dr. Laura Junker, Associate Professor of Anthropology,
University of Illinois at Chicago
