Updated Call for Papers: Teaching Popular Culture in the Humanities Classroom
Updated Call for Proposals: Teaching Pop Culture in the Humanities Classroom
We invite scholars across the humanities to submit their book chapter proposal for inclusion in Teaching Popular Culture in the Humanities classroom. This edited volume will provide theoretical and practical approaches to engaging students in course content through the lens of popular culture. The term popular culture is used loosely to describe a range of media consumed by the public from television, movies, comic books, and internet culture.
Proposals:
We invite scholars to submit the following proposal via Google Form: https://forms.gle/VH5HvB4AqHkZdcHT7
- Chapter abstract of maximum 500 words (excluding sources cited) that provides an overview of the chapter.
- Preference for chapters that use one clearly defined popular culture text
- Apply theoretical constructs relevant to the discipline, but can also be widely applied throughout the humanities
- Include practical application of the popular culture artifact in face-to-face as well as digital spaces
- Truncated CV (1-2 pages) of each contributor including affiliation/position, educational history, and any relevant publication history.
- We are encouraging submissions from across the humanities, and hope to include a wide range of disciplines in the volume.
- Please note: Graduate students, K-12 teachers and independent scholars are encouraged to submit. When possible, we encourage collaboration with a university faculty member.
Submissions:
If accepted, contributors will be responsible for producing manuscripts that meet the following criteria:
- Be relevant to the broad field of humanities and add to the conversation of popular culture in the classroom
- Be theoretically based and include a literature review section relevant to the project
- Be a minimum of 4500 words in length
- Follow all formatting and guidelines for APA
- Contain all original material (none that have been previously published) and does not contain copyrighted material
