Hello everyone, I have been asked by Routledge to do a follow-up to my 2022
title Disability Representation in Film, TV, and Print Media. It will
basically be a second edition but with a new title along the lines of
Disability
in Media. The goal is to showcase original research and theoretical essays
focusing on recent representations of disability in mainstream media such
as film, television, advertising, video games, social media, etc.
Proposals for chapters based on original research are welcome from
researchers from any academic discipline utilizing any appropriate research
methodology and theoretical framework. Priority will be given to proposals
that focus on media representations occurring within the past 5 years, but
fresh looks at older representations or research on older media
representations that have been overlooked will also be competitive. In
addition, chapters that engage perceptions of media representations among
both people with disabilities and the general population are encouraged.
Citation style is APA 7th edition, and the publisher will require retrieval
dates for any web sources without a doi.
What to submit: send an email to me at msjeffress@gmail.com by April 1,
2024, with "Disability in Media CFP" in subject line with answers to the
following questions:
- What is your tentative chapter title?
- Do you or a co-author have a terminal degree in a relevant field?
(Note, this is not required, and I desire to support and encourage young
scholars, so graduate students and those who are ABD are welcome to submit.
However, having edited several volumes, I would advise such contributors to
consider adding a second author who has a terminal degree to avoid possible
setbacks in the publisher's external review process).
- On a scale of 1-10, with 1 being “I have not started” and 10 “I am
finished,” how far along are you in the research you plan to utilize for
your chapter?
- Does your research involve any human participants, and if so, are you
able to provide evidence of institutional ethics approval?
- What media and which representation(s) are the focus of your proposal?
- Please provide a brief 150-200 word abstract for your proposed
chapter.
- Although not required, if you have a working draft of your paper, you
are invited to attach it to your proposal to expedite the process.
Tentative schedule:
April 1, 2024: deadline to submit a proposal
April 29, 2024: initial decision to reject or to invite to submit a full
first draft
July 26, 2024: deadline to receive complete first draft. Review process
will begin immediately with an effort to provide a decision well ahead of
next deadline.
October 25, 2024: Feedback returned on drafts with either a decision to
reject or accept for publication, pending completion of any requested
revisions, which should only be minor at this point.
November 29, 2024: Deadline for final draft
January 9, 2025: manuscript submitted to publisher’s production team and
roll off the presses between April and June 2025.
