Call for Articles: Encyclopedia of Activism and Social Justice
Dear Colleagues,

We'd like to invite you to write an entry or entries for a new
Encyclopedia of Activism and Social Justice to be published by Sage
Publications. We need scholars with expertise in several areas, and hope
you will find a topic in an area of your expertise. We have listed the
topics below, but we are open to suggestions if you feel we have left an
important issue out.

There is a modest payment for entries, but, of course, we view this as
primarily a form of progressive scholarship in that Encyclopedia entries
are widely read and help to define social knowledge. If you write entries
totaling over 4,000 words, you will receive a free copy of the
three-volume Encyclopedia. Entries range from 500 words up to 5,000 words,
depending on the significance of the topic or person.

If you are interested in participating in this project, please email us at
 gary.anderson@nyu.edu, indicating the topic or topics you would like to
write. We will then send you a formal invitation with author guidelines.
Please feel free to forward this list to other relevant scholars who may
not be on this list.

Sincerely,

Gary L. Anderson
Kathryn Herr
