[ecrea] Call for Guest Editors for the Journal "Networking Knowledge"

The Journal "Networking Knowledge", the post graduate journal of Media 
Communication and Cultural Studies Association in the UK seeks guest 
editors, particularly early career scholars, to enhance their 
publication activities.

Call for guest editors

The journal is calling for prospective guest editors who are interested 
in editing collections of articles on a theme of their choice. This will 
include conceiving the theme and its parameters, seeking and selecting 
authors of 5-8 articles through /both/ commissioning /and/ an open call 
for papers, managing the peer review process, copy-editing articles and 
contributing a short editorial introduction to the finished collection. 
Guest editors will be supported throughout the process by the Journal 
Editor, who will also prepare the final articles for online publication.

  This is a valuable opportunity for PG researchers to gain experience 
of all aspects of peer-reviewed journal publication, as well as 
developing interaction with peers who have similar research interests. 
Teams of two or three Guest Editors are acceptable, as well as 
individuals. Themes can be drawn from any aspect of the subject areas 
covered by MeCCSA. They should represent a cutting-edge and specific 
research focus, but be open enough to accommodate a range of 
disciplinary, methodological and/or geographical areas.

  As a guide, some previous special issues have focused on:

•Time and Technology in Popular Culture, Media and Communication

•Branding TV: Transmedia to the Rescue

•Protest and the New Media Ecology

And our forthcoming issues will be on:

•Mediatizing Gaza

•Digital Comics

•Selfies

•New Perspectives on Cinematic Spectatorship and Digital Culture

•New Approaches to Music Listening


Proposals should be no more than 500 words and include:

  •A provisional title for the collection

•The proposed theme, including a brief explanation of existing relevant 
research and what the collection will seek to contribute

•Brief examples of potential contributors (to be commissioned) and 
article topics (to be included in a call for papers)

•Name(s), institution(s) and e-mail address(es) for the prospective 
guest editor(s)


Expressions of interest in editing a special issue should be sent to the 
Journal Editor, Madhushala Senaratne, at (H.M.Senaratne /at/ sussex.ac.uk)
