The volume is intended to inform readers of the current state of this important field of study and offer directions for future research that will build new theory. We define ?social groups? broadly to include those based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, class, etc. Chapters may be based on a single social group, a set of social groups, or social groups generally. Chapters must go beyond a single study to offer general insights. Chapters may be co-authored with senior scholars but a junior scholar must be the first author. The author(s) of an accepted chapter proposal must submit electronically to the editors listed below a complete draft of the chapter by July 20, 2010. The first author of accepted chapters must attend a conference workshop in Austin, Texas, Aug. 15-17, during which chapters will be presented and critiqued, and revisions suggested in preparation for publication. Travel, lodging and meals associated with the conference will be covered. Chapter Proposal Guidelines: Submit an extended abstract (2-4 pages) describing your chapter. In it, identify the specific aspects of the media?s role in the formation or maintenance of social identities which your chapter will examine; provide a summary or outline of your proposed chapter; and include a bibliography of sources to be used in your chapter. Include your academic title, affiliation, and contact information. Send your proposal electronically to Lasorsa at mail.utexas.edu AND to arodriguez at mail.utexas.edu by April 16, 2010. Address questions to: Dominic Lasorsa, University of Texas, School of Journalism, 1 University Station A1000, Austin, TX 78712; Lasorsa at mail.utexas.edu; 512-471-1966 or to America Rodriguez, University of Texas, Department of Radio Television Film, 1 University Station A0800, Austin, TX 78712; arodriguez at mail.utexas.edu; 512-471-6645. __________________________ Bill Cassidy, Ph.D. Associate Professor Department of Communication Northern Illinois University DeKalb, IL 60115 (815) 753-7005 bcassidy at niu.edu -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
