Academic editorial contributions are being invited for the Multimedia Encyclopedia of Women in Today’s World, which is a new online library reference that will look at women today around the world and address the issues and problems faced by females in the 21st century. Main focus of the encyclopedia will be the status of women in the year 2000 and onwards.
New work on the encyclopedia will supplement the 4-volume print and online edition which is already in production. It is expected that the 500 signed entries (with cross-references and recommended readings) will address issues related to contemporary women’s and gender studies and the articles must 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.
The 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.
For everyone who is interested in making contribution to this upcoming reference, this is a unique opportunity to contribute to the contemporary literature, redefining women’s issues in today’s terms. Moreover, through this publication you also have the opportunity to add notable addition to your CV/resume and widen your publishing credits.
Authors making contributions will also be given 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.
