SAGE Multimedia Encyclopedia of Women in Today’s World New Expanded Online Volume

CALL FOR AUTHORS:

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.

If you would like to contribute to building a truly outstanding reference
with the Multimedia Encyclopedia of Women in Today‘s World, please
