Call for Submissions:
Be part of a new edited volume addressing global climate change,
tentatively titled World Turning: Race, Class, Gender, and Global
Climate
Change. For this unique volume, (publisher to be confirmed once
submissions are), we are seeking contributions from academics and
activists with experience and expertise in addressing the social
dimensions of global climate change in their work, with a particular
focus on intersections of race, class, gender, and other social
markers.
World Turning is intended to be a multidisciplinary reader that will
introduce undergraduate and graduate students to the major issues and
debates
surrounding the study of intersectionality and global climate change.
The volume will be
broadly organized into sections on the social and natural sciences,
as well as public
health, art and literature.
Specifically, we are seeking essays or articles between 15-25 pages
(including notes) that address any aspect of climate change: legal,
political, social,
educational, agricultural, economic, religious, sexual, ideological,
international, local, etc. and that incorporate an intersectional
analysis. In addition,
we are seeking original essays, poetry, investigative reporting or
other creative works
(including art) that also address climate change in relation to any
form of activism.
Contributions may be visual, empirical, theoretical or any other
creative form, and may
be between 1-20 pages (including notes).
Preference will be given to original pieces but we may also consider
previously published pieces.
If you are interested in contributing, please submit a 500 word
abstract
of your piece (or details / examples of your art / activism) with the
title,
author, and institutional or organizational affiliation (if any) to Dr.
Phoebe Godfrey at
