Call for manuscripts: New Literacies (Peter Lang Publishing)
Call for manuscripts: New Literacies (Peter Lang Publishing)
One of the premier education publishing groups, Peter Lang Publishing is
looking for works that understand how new literacies and new ways of seeing
education are being invented -- as people from all walks of life, in diverse
sites, wrestle with new technologies, shifting values, changing
institutional forms and processes, and emerging structures characteristic of
postmodernity/New Times/the Global Informational Age. These texts aim to
explore these emerging domains and to create awareness of key trends and
features, translating them into educational consciousness and practice.
These texts should explore in depth and from a range of perspectives the
extent, nature, and implications of new literacies in global context,
challenging familiar ways of framing education, and what it means for
education to be powerful, effective, and enabling under current and
foreseeable conditions.
We wish to encourage and support new, early-career authors as well as
established scholars.
We welcome single-author manuscripts as well as edited collections which
examine and engage with the current concerns of education, educators,
students, learning, especially how technology has impacted education.
Topics of particular interest are:
* critical pedagogy/ies
* literacy/ies and technology/ies
* education and disability
* the history of schools and schooling, particularly institutional histories
* education and innovation
* education psychology
* multiculturalism, urban schooling
* environmental education
* theory of play
* gender and education, particularly masculinity and adolescents
Thank you. To send proposals or for more information and a full list of
guidelines, please email:

Monograph: Contemporary American Women: Our Defining Passages
Monograph: Contemporary American Women: Our Defining Passages
Foreword by Carolyn Lesser, Webster University, St. Louis, MO, nonfiction writing faculty; natural science children's books published by Harcourt, Alfred A. Knopf; essayist, poet, photographer, keynote speaker, artist.
Afterword by Dr. Loriene Roy, 2007-2008 President of the American Library Association. Professor, University of Texas at Austin, founder of "If I Can Read, I Can Do Anything," a national reading club for Native American children.
Please consider sharing the important milestones, life changing events, transitions in your life--material that would broadly fit the "Women's Studies" genre that is highly readable, moving and relatable. There are the passages that occur to us (for example, losing a loved one, and then the passages we choose (such as adopting a child). Please focus on those pivotal moments and why they were important passages for you.
Currently, we have enough material on: chronic/acute illness; getting a degree; career changes; relocating.
Suggestions for topics as of yet relatively unexplored: changing/leaving/going back to a new or former religion or mode of spirituality (no preaching, please); how a companion/rescue animal changed your life; how participation in outdoor adventure changed your life; deciding to volunteer; milestones about deciding to be true to yourself (such as coming out, ending a negative friendship, setting healthy boundaries).
This book celebrates our passages as women, from one moment into another, from one door to the next. Often it is after the navigation, that in reflection, we see that some of the most difficult are the ones we have learned the most and have had lasting effects as well on those around us.
Guidelines for The Poet in Us: Tips on Writing by and for Today's Women and/or Contemporary American Women: Our Defining Passages:

For this project you need:
