We are inviting academic editorial contributors to Sociology of 
Education:
An A-to-Z Guide, a 2-volume library reference to be published in 2013 
by
SAGE Publications. Assignments are being made with a submission 
deadline
of December 19, 2011.

The sociology of education is a rich interdisciplinary field that 
studies
schools as their own social worlds as well as their place within the
larger society. The field draws contributions from education, 
sociology,
human development and family studies, economics, politics and public
policy, and elsewhere. The Sociology of Education: An A-to-Z Guide will
introduce students to the social constructions of our educational 
systems
and their many players, including students and their peers, teachers,
parents, the broader community, politicians and policy makers. The 
roles
of schools, the social processes governing schooling, and impacts on
society will all be examined and critically explored. The articles will
be accompanied by pedagogical elements, including a Reader’s Guide,
Chronology, Resource Guide, Glossary, Appendix, and thorough Index.

This comprehensive work will be marketed and sold to college, public, 
and
academic libraries and includes some 400 articles, covering all aspects 
of
the sociology of education and related disciplines in the social 
sciences,
including terms and practices, biographies, and descriptions of 
education
around the world.

Each article, ranging from 800 to 3,500 words, is signed by the
contributor. The General Editor of the encyclopedia is James Ainsworth,
Ph.D., Georgia State University, who will review all the articles for
editorial content and academic consistency.

If you are interested in contributing to the encyclopedia, it can be a
notable publication addition to your CV/resume and broaden your 
publishing
credits. Payment for the articles are honoraria that range from a $50 
book
credit from Sage Publications for article submissions totaling 500 to
1,000 words up to a free copy of the encyclopedia for contributions
totaling 10,000 words. More than this, your involvement can help assure
that credible and detailed data, descriptions, and analysis are 
available
to students of the sociology of education.

The list of available articles (Excel file), Style Guidelines, and 
sample
article are prepared and will be sent to you in response to your 
inquiry.
Please then select which unassigned articles may best suit your 
interests
and expertise.

If you would like to contribute to building a truly outstanding 
reference
with Sociology of Education: An A-to-Z Guide, please contact me by the
