Call for proposals, 6th edition
Race/Gender/Class/Media: Considering Diversity Across Audiences, Content, and Producers (Routledge)
Edited by Rebecca Ann Lind, University of Illinois at Chicago (rebecca@uic.edu)
We seek proposals for the 6th edition of Race/Gender/Class/Media (Routledge). This reader contains upwards of 50 relatively short, tightly-written, good-quality research reports. Contributors who meet deadlines will receive $100 on publication.
Proposals from scholars representing all disciplines and using all methods are welcome. This reader is designed primarily to introduce undergraduates to considerations of race, class, and gender in the media. The book has three sections: content, audience, production.
The full CFP at http://go.uic.edu/rgcm contains links to the 5th edition on Routledge and Amazon, and a document listing the full ToCs of all 5 editions. This is also the proposal submission site.
Final manuscripts will be between 3250-3750 words, including 3 pedagogical activities, and must be written in an accessible fashion. Although the readings are short and accessible, they should represent good scholarship and contain important ideas. More details, and sample readings, will be provided when acceptances are announced. The editor will actively provide guidance and feedback throughout the process.
Priority deadline for proposals: September 23, 2024; Decisions announced by: September 30, 2024; Completed readings due: March 28, 2025.
Of particular interest (but don't feel limited to these): studies of production and the media industry, including media workers; studies highlighting class; AI; fake news and disinformation; deepfakes; social media; sports; Latinx, Asian, native/indigenous people and media; all forms of race and ethnicity including religion; whiteness; masculinity; LGBTQI people; sexual identity
