[ecrea] Call for Chapter Proposals: Northern Ireland's Press in the Twentieth Century

An exciting publishing opportunity has arisen as part of the 
three-volume Edinburgh University Press, History of Newspapers and 
Periodicals in Britain and Ireland 1650-2011 (general editors, Martin 
Conboy and David Finkelstein). The third volume of this work, co-edited 
by Professors Adrian Bingham and Martin Conboy of the University of 
Sheffield, coves the period from 1900-2017: 'Power, Popularization and 
Permeation'. It is for this volume that we invite proposals for a 
chapter concerning the Northern Irish Press in the twentieth century.

The chapter would be a maximum of 7,000 words all-inclusive and could 
incorporate one or two ‘case-studies’ of particularly important people, 
institutions or titles to fit with the format of the series. If you can 
commit to the project we would need an initial confirmation, along with 
an outline of 300-400 words outlining how you would approach the topic 
and a mini biography of 100 words.

We envisage that final chapters would be completed in time for 
submission to EUP by April 2018, so this represents an intense but 
rewarding challenge for an established or emerging scholar in this 
field. We hope that this timeframe will enable the chapters to draw on 
significant fresh insights and therefore constitute original research. 
Please bear in mind that even at the synopsis stage we are keen to 
stress aspects of newspaper and periodical publications from across 
Britain and Ireland so please do try where appropriate to incorporate in 
your synopsis some sense of how you will capture the flows of 
information between the constituent nations.

Please send proposals and bios via email to the volume's editorial 
assistant, Christopher Shoop-Worrall: *(cworrall1 /at/ sheffield.ac.uk) 
<mailto:(cworrall1 /at/ sheffield.ac.uk)>*

The deadline for proposal submission is the *27th October 2017*.
