Call for Contributions, Third Edition
Race/Gender/Media:
Considering Diversity Across Audiences, Content, and Producers

Edited by: Rebecca Ann Lind <mailto:(rebecca /at/ uic.edu)> , University of 
Illinois at Chicago

Contracted With: AB-Longman. See AB-Longman website link to 1st 
edition 
<http://www.ablongman.com/catalog/academic/product/0,1144,0205344194,00.html> 
. See also AB-Longman website link to 2nd edition 
<http://www.pearsonhighered.com/educator/product/RaceGenderMedia-Considering-Diversity-Across-Audiences-Content-and-Producers-2E/0205537359.page> 
.

Purpose: The third edition of this edited reader will present an 
array of scholarship designed primarily to introduce undergraduates 
to considerations of race and gender in the media. Though written so 
that lower level students will be able to engage with the content, I 
want the book to be interesting and sophisticated enough to also 
appeal to juniors and seniors, who may be the largest consumers of 
the text. Some lower-level graduate courses (specifically those that 
also enroll advanced undergrads) also may find this of value. The 
text will emphasize critical and reflective thinking about these 
issues, and will encourage critical consumption of mediated messages. 
The first two editions contained mostly original work, but revisions 
of recently published works are more than welcome.

Contributor Payment: Contributors will be paid $100 per chapter for 
each chapter that is received according to the schedule. (Multiple 
authors will share the $100.) Chapters received late will receive 
lesser amounts, to be specified.

Submission Procedure and Timeline: Potential contributors should 
email me a Word document presenting a proposal of the chapter 
including the following: Title, detailed description of the work, the 
work's past history (conference presentation etc., including the name 
of the copyright holder if not the author), Author(s) names, 
affiliation, and contact information. Please also specify whether if 
accepted, you will be able to submit the completed chapter by January 
1, 2011. I encourage you to look at previous editions for ideas 
regarding content and presentation.

I encourage all potential contributors to present all of their 
potential ideas. Feel free to specify which of your ideas you'd most 
like to present, and whether any might not be able to complete a 
certain idea by January 1, or anything else you'd like me to know. 
It's possible that your idea will be so interesting that I want to 
use it, even if you can't get it done by our deadline -- but you'd 
need to propose an alternate deadline.

Topics of Special Interest: The third edition will see a substantial 
infusion of new material, which will replace current material. "New 
material" could mean new topics, new approaches, or just new 
analyses/considerations of topics that are already in the book. I 
will update this page after hearing back from reviewers who are 
making suggestions about the third edition, but for now, please don't 
ignore the following -- not all of which, I realize, are "topics":




Social media




Online gaming (World of Warcraft? Or others)




Minority media




First person pieces by media professionals




Interviews with media professionals




Media effects (including social scientific or experimental studies)




Expanding the range of racial/ethnic groups covered in the book




Considerations of whiteness, and of masculinities




Music




Prime Time Television Programming



For More Information: More details on the following topics is 
available by clicking the following links. Obviously, this will be of 
most value to people who are selected to prepare chapters, but you 
might find it helpful when considering ideas you want to submit.
