Call for Submissions

There is an exciting opportunity offered to people who have studied Mythology and Modern life, are currently studying online, or have completed degrees via online study. This opportunity is provided by Femspec, an “interdisciplinary feminist journal dedicated to science fiction, fantasy, magical realism, surrealism, myth, folklore, and other supernatural genres.” Femspec would like to publish papers, art, photography, and writing on mythology as it relates to the female hero or central literary figure.

In addition to mythology, we are interested in individual experiences, articles, and materials that explore the study of feminist speculative arts and literature online, in the digital age. How is/was your online learning experience? Did you receive productive feedback from your instructor/s? How did that feedback shape your ideas? Did you find discussion posts helpful to your learning process?

Submit your work for consideration or contact if you are interested in being quoted or interviewed janazeman@frontier.com by March 15, 2015

Note: Because Femspec is a fully independent journal funded by subscriptions rather than institutional support, subscription is required for submission.

Posted on January 23, 2015 | Leave a comment

POSTER PROPOSAL DEADLINE: Extended to Friday, February 27, 2015
CONFERENCE DATE: Friday, April 17, 2015

California Conference on Library Instruction is a one-day conference held in

Friday, April 17, 2015, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. This year’s CCLI
program, “Teaching and Reaching Your Students in Environments of Rapid
Change,” will explore new and practical ways to craft innovative experiences

community, framework, scalable, ethical, sustainable. These are some of the
ways librarians are working with library instruction.

What ways are you are approaching instruction in environments of rapid change?
We’re looking for your best instruction plans, how you’re adapting to new
modes of learning, creative ways you’re reorganizing and assessing your work,
your unconventional curriculum, your quirky exercises, your strategic advocacy
tactics (for these programs on your campus), and what you have learned from
your failures.

Interested in presenting a poster? Read about submission guidelines and submit
your poster proposal via the CCLI website at
http://www.cclibinstruction.org/2015-poster-sessions-call-for-submissions.

The deadline for poster submissions is Friday, February 27, 2015. All

Feminist Pedagogy Conference: Transformations

Posted on January 22, 2015 | Leave a comment

CALL FOR PAPERS

April 17, 2015

Hosted by the Feminist Studies Group and the Center for the Study of Women
and Society

The Feminist Pedagogy Conference seeks participants for a day-long
conference entitled “Feminist Pedagogy: Transformations.” The conference
will be held on April 17, 2015 at the CUNY Graduate Center, in New York, NY.

The Feminist Pedagogy Conference is a venue for conversation between
scholars and activists across the disciplines around the present state of
feminist pedagogy and work on gender, both within and beyond the academy.
Building on previous work, this is a forum to share pedagogical methods and
ideas for teaching in women and gender studies and/or feminist approaches
to learning and classroom strategies in various disciplines. Our aim is to
address issues of gender and sexuality, in conjunction with race and class,
both inside and outside of the academy.

We invite proposals related to the theory and practice of
feminist pedagogy in a rapidly transforming university context. For
example, proposals might address new forms of pedagogy given the increasing
adjunctification of the university, the translation of radical
redistributive demands into symbolic gestures of recognition and inclusion,
and the increasing reliance upon and exploitation of the affective labor
disproportionately performed by marginalized subjects.

We also seek proposals for feminist pedagogical practices that respond to
and resist new and old forms of colonial, carceral, racist, or neoliberal
feminist thought. How can feminist teachers respond effectively to
practices and ideologies of mass incarceration, settler colonialism,
homonationalism, pink washing/watching, and the neoliberal rhetoric of
personal responsibility and choice that obscures the elimination of the
welfare state?

We invite proposals on any of these, or the following topics:

The effect of adjunctification on the practice and theory of
feminist pedagogy

Feminist pedagogies of writing, composition, and research methods

Teaching the politics of affective labor

Trans* men and women at gender segregated schools or other institutions

Trans*feminist action and pedagogy

Pedagogies of decentering whiteness, cisgender experiences, or
heterosexuality

Anti-racist pedagogies in a “post-racial” age

Decolonizing feminist pedagogy

Teaching global feminisms

Feminist pedagogies for and of the precariat (students, teachers,
administrators)

Feminist pedagogy in the era of standardized testing

Technologies of feminist pedagogy

Activism and service-oriented learning

Addressing campus rape culture in the classroom

“Leadership” and feminist pedagogy

Politics of “assessment”

Negative affect and feminist pedagogy

Politics of hope

Feminism in general education

Online/distance learning and feminist pedagogy

Strategies for the feminist classroom

Submissions for panels, roundtables, workshops, and creative and/or
multimedia presentations are welcome. Those interested should submit
abstracts (250-300) briefly describing their intended presentations. Please
also specify what type of submission: paper (approx. 20 minutes),
roundtable (larger group of 5-10 minute presentations followed by
conversation), or creative. We welcome both individual submissions and
pre-formed panels or roundtables. We are actively seeking contributions
from historically marginalized or underrepresented groups. With your
abstract, please include a brief biography.

Please submit abstracts to feministpedagogyconference@gmail.com no later
than January 31st, 2015.

Information about the conference will be available at:
http://feministstudies.commons.gc.cuny.edu/

Handbook of Research on Academic Library Partnerships and Collaborations

Posted on January 20, 2015 | Leave a comment

CALL FOR CHAPTER PROPOSALS

Proposal Submission Deadline: January 30, 2015

A book edited by

Dr. Brian Doherty (New College of Florida, USA)

To be published by IGI Global: http://bit.ly/1B3bgMO

For release in the Advances in Library and Information Science Book Series

Submit a Proposal for this Book

Series Description

The Advances in Library and Information Science Book Series aims to expand the body of library science literature by covering a wide range of topics affecting the profession and field at large. The series also seeks to provide readers with an essential resource for uncovering the latest research in library and information science management, development, and technologies.

Introduction

This publication will seek to document, through well-researched chapters, examples of how partnerships and collaborations have enabled academic libraries to provide users with the services and materials that are needed at 21st-century colleges and universities.

Approaching the subject-matter from the perspective of the libraries themselves, the types of collaborations documented in the book will vary widely from large, consortial-level resource-sharing libraries, to smaller, internal and external collaborations.

Objective of the Book

Collaboration is an imperative for today’s academic library. This volume will focus on examples of how collaboration enables academic libraries to offer services, build collections, and provide access to resources outside of the traditional library sphere — things that libraries may not be able to offer if left to their own resources. Chapters will cover various kinds of partnerships and collaborations, and will focus on academic libraries of all sizes. This handbook aims to serve as an invaluable resource for librarians developing their own collaborative relationships, as well as researchers studying how libraries partner with various entities to achieve their academic missions.

Target Audience

Librarians, researchers, academic administrators, advanced-level students, and information-technology professionals will find this handbook useful, not only in understanding collaborative efforts in academic libraries, but in researching such institutional relationships, and in forging their own.

Submission Procedure

Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before January 30, 2015, a chapter proposal of 1,000 to 2,000 words clearly explaining the mission and concerns of his or her proposed chapter. Authors will be notified by February 15, 2015 about the status of their proposals and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by May 15, 2015. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis. Contributors may also be requested to serve as reviewers for this project.Note: There are no submission or acceptance fees for manuscripts submitted to this book publication, Trust in Knowledge Management and Systems in Organizations. All manuscripts are accepted based on a double-blind peer review editorial process.

Important Dates

Proposal Submission Deadline: January 30, 2015

Full Chapter Submission: May 15, 2015

Review Results to Authors: July 10, 2015

Revised Chapter Submission: August 7, 2015

Final Acceptance Notifications: September 21, 2015

Submission of Final Chapters to Editor: October 1, 2015

Inquiries may be directed to
