Subject: GPC - Call for Dissertation Precis - New Type of Publication
Dear Board Members,
We are really pleased to introduce this new publishing initiative for Gender, Place and Culture. We think that this is a great opportunity for students finishing their work and thinking of ways to talk and write about their written work – and how it all fits together in the context of their contributions to feminist geographies.
Please circulate widely and pass along to doctoral students who have recently finished their dissertations!
With warm wishes,
Pamela
Call for Dissertation Précis
Gender, Place and Culture is committed to promoting scholarship in feminist geography. As part of this commitment the journal is launching a new initiative: publishing doctoral dissertation précis. As part of the feminist geography community, we seek to celebrate this academic work written by students who have laboured long and hard to complete their studies. By honoring these accomplishments, the journal can show how students engaging with feminist geography are building the future of the discipline.
Gender, Place and Culture will be publishing doctoral dissertation précis in each issue. Submissions will be considered on a competitive basis. Each précis will undergo a vetting process by an Editor. Successful submissions will join the queue for publication.
We seek original pieces of writing of about 1500 words (including references) that summarize a recently defended dissertation. Rather than publishing the abstracts submitted with the dissertation, we request that authors write a different piece summarizing the dissertation in a way that highlights the contributions to feminist geographies. We request that the abstract accompanying the dissertation be submitted alongside the newly written précis. We also request that a set of five to seven key words accompany the submission. Please refer to our guidance notes for further information on dissertation précis at http://www.tandfonline.com/action/authorSubmission?journalCode=cgpc20&page=instructions <http://www.tandfonline.com/action/authorSubmission?journalCode=cgpc20&page=instructions%20>
The Editors invite authors to submit précis of their dissertations through ScholarOne. Dissertations defended in 2016 and 2017 are now being accepted.
On behalf of the Editors of Gender, Place and Culture
