[ecrea] CFP Harry Potter Studies Edited Volume

Call for Chapter Proposals



From Here to Hogwarts is a proposed interdisciplinary, 
multi-contributer volume born of the burgeoning field of Harry Potter 
Studies and the community of collaborators that is developing within the 
Southwest Popular/American Culture Association.



This proposed volume will cover a range of topics within the works of 
J.K. Rowling. The Harry Potter series is such a rich text for analysis, 
particularly of social issues that can be extrapolated to real-world, 
non-fictional settings. The scholarship being produced surrounding the 
Harry Potter series is phenomenal.



As such, this call for chapters invites interested scholars to submit 
papers and/or proposals for publication consideration in this edited volume.



Contributions should use the works of JK Rowling (the Harry Potter 
series, or companion works such as The Tales of Beedle the Bard, 
Fantastic Creatures and Where to Find Them, or Quidditch Through the 
Ages) to address a social or political issue, such as race, class, 
gender, sexual orientation, societal structure, age, muggle vs. wizard 
relations, technology, religion, and so forth. All themes will be 
considered as related to the overall direction of the volume.



Proposals from any academic discipline will be considered. Emerging and 
early career scholars are especially encouraged to submit. Final papers 
should be no longer than 30 pages, including references, and should be 
scholarly in nature yet accessible in language and tone.



For consideration, please submit an abstract/proposal of no more than 
500 words to Dr. Christopher Bell, University of Colorado at Colorado 
Springs, at (cbell3 /at/ uccs.edu). Abstracts/proposals should be sent as Word 
Document attachments, and should include the author(s)’s name, 
affiliation, title and email contact information. Abstracts/proposals 
should be submitted no later than September 1, 2011. Final papers will 
be due January 1, 2015.
