We are inviting academic editorial contributors to The SAGE Encyclopedia of Surveillance, Security, and Privacy, a new 4 volume reference.

• Digital Cultures, Cyber-Communities, and Simulated Selves

Published by SAGE Reference in 2016, the encyclopedia features approximately 700 entries organized A-Z across 4 volumes. The encyclopedia will be available in a choice of electronic or print formats. Each 1,000- to 5,000-word article will be signed by the contributor. The General Editor, who will be reviewing each submission to the project, is Dr. Bruce Arrigo, University of North Carolina, Charlotte.

We are currently making assignments with a deadline of November 1, 2014.

SAGE Publications offers an honorarium ranging from SAGE book credits for smaller articles up to a free set of the printed product for contributions totaling 10,000 words or more.
