[ecrea] Call for Chapters: Harry Potter 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) <mailto:(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, 2014*. Final papers will be due* January 1, 2015*.
