CALL FOR AUTHORS: Sociology of Work: An Encyclopedia
We are inviting academic editorial contributors to Sociology of Work:
An Encyclopedia, a 2-volume library reference to be published in 2013 by
SAGE Publications.
The simple act of going to work every day is an integral part of all
societies across the globe; it is an ingrained social contract—we all
work to survive. If we can’t work, psychologists have equated losing a
job with the trauma of divorce or a family death, and enormous issues
arise, from financial panic to sinking self-esteem. Through work, we
build our self-identity, our lifestyle, and our aspirations. How did it
come about that work dominates so many parts of our lives? This
multi-disciplinary encyclopedia covers curricular subjects that answer
that question, ranging from business and management to anthropology,
sociology, social history, psychology, politics, economics, and health.
Distinguishing itself from the competition, this encyclopedia focuses on
contemporary sociology and provides international coverage, comparing
work in China to the United States, for example. 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 work and related disciplines in the social
sciences, including terms and practices, biographies, and descriptions
of work. We are now making assignments with a deadline of February 15,
2012.
Each article, ranging from 700 to 3,500 words, is signed by the
contributor. The General Editor of the encyclopedia is Vicki Smith,
Ph.D., University of California - Davis, 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 work.
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 Work: An Encyclopedia, please contact me by
the e-mail information below. Please provide your CV or a brief summary
of your background in Work, Occupations, Organizations, and Employment
issues. Thanks for your time and interest.
