==Call for Chapters: Communication Studies in Russia and Surrounding Post-Soviet Countries and Traditional and New Media Studies in Eastern Europe and Eurasia== | |||
[[Character assassination (Global)|Sergei Samoilenko]] is inviting chapters for '''two books''' focusing on communication and mass communications in Eurasia, Eastern and Central Europe, and Central Asia: ''Communication Studies in Russia and Surrounding Post-Soviet Countries'' and ''Traditional and New Media Studies in Eastern Europe and Eurasia''. Both will be published with Lexington Books. The idea is to bring to international attention the diverse academic activities involving the broad study of communication in a geographic region that to date does not have widespread knowledge and familiarity. | |||
'''Co-Editors:''' Mike Finch (mikefinch7@gmail.com), Marta Lukacovic (mnlukacovic@gmail.com), Mo Minielli (maureen.minielli@verizon.net) and Sergei Samoilenko (sergewdc@gmail.com) | |||

'''More information''' | |||
<div class="mw-collapsible-content"> | |||
The Communication Studies book focuses on human communication (loosely labeled), and will have chapters on propaganda, rhetoric, argumentation, linguistics, translations studies, interpersonal communication, group communication, organizational communication, political communication, and intercultural communication. It will also have 3 introductory chapters on communication studies pedagogy, cultural tensions of communication studies in regions of limited rights/freedoms, and Western scholarly writing/publishing issues. | |||
The Traditional and New Media Studies book focuses on mass communication, and will have chapters on public relations, newspapers, mediated communication, memory studies, health communication, media ecology, grassroots activism, and urban communication. It will also have 4 introductory chapters on public relations pedagogy,higher education institutional constraints on a journalism and mass communication department, journalism ethics, and issues associated with creating and running an international communication journal. | |||
Both books are simultaneously separate but connected due to the central idea of sharing information with another. Some chapters could qualify to fulfill more than one designated category in the other book. Collectively we want to illustrate the breadth and depth of communication by an eclectic group of high-level scholars. With that in mind, both books will provide the highest quality of scholarship and most comprehensive discussion of communication and mass communications studies in Eurasia, Eastern and Central Europe, and Central Asia. We expect these books to be used in the classroom, for reference and citation purposes, for study abroad trips, and to inform global practitioners of the areas represented. | |||
'''Project Goals''' | |||
We have several goals for both books and our overall project: | |||
#Showcase scholars and their current works to an American/Western/Global audience and close gaps between international scholars and practitioners. | |||
#Discuss contemporary issues and concerns related to communication and mass communications study as well as offer new, significant information that can serve to inform work being conducted at a variety of educational strata and create a broad theoretical, research, and practice knowledge base. | |||
#Support each book by explaining and illustrating how communication and mass communications subfields are related and can learn from each other at the conceptual, theoretical, methodological, and practical levels. | |||
#Make theoretical and practical understanding of communication and mass communications accessible to practitioners. | |||
'''Parallel Writing Structure and Content, and Project Questions for Authors to Answer''' | |||
We would like to create some type of parallel writing structure and content for all chapters in both books. We have requested authors follow the suggested chapter headers in the Manuscript Guidelines as one means of creating parallel writing structure and content. | |||
Another means to provide that parallelism is to ask authors to peer-review first chapter drafts from another author that will allow you to explain how an aspect of your chapter overlaps with another contributor’s chapter, like common topics, theorists, methodologies, and the like. | |||
A third means toward parallelism is to ask authors to answer the following common questions to facilitate the understanding between book chapters of your volume, between the two books, between practitioner and academic perspectives, and between the subfields that authors represent. | |||
#What is/are the main points of your chapter? | |||
#How does your chapter illustrate communication studies or traditional and new media studies? | |||
#What is the most important information you would like international scholars and practitioners to know? | |||
'''Project Timelines''' | |||
We have overlapping timelines for chapter drafts and final submissions for both books. Your kind adherence to these deadlines will be greatly appreciated and allow us to submit final manuscripts on time to meet the publisher’s deadlines and publication schedule. | |||
