Greetings,
We are inviting academic editorial contributors to a new reference work on
consumption and waste, or the social science of garbage.
This comprehensive project will be published by SAGE Reference and will be
marketed to academic and public libraries as a print and digital product
available to students via the library’s electronic services. The General
Editor, who will be reviewing each submission to the project, is Dr. William
Rathje, emeritus University of Arizona, the top scholar in the field.
If you are interested in contributing to this cutting-edge reference, it is
a unique opportunity to contribute to the contemporary literature,
redefining sociological issues in today’s terms. Moreover, it can be a
notable publication addition to your CV/resume and broaden your publishing
credits. 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.
The list of available articles is already prepared, and as a next step we
will e-mail you the Article List (Excel file) from which you can select
topics that best fit your expertise and interests. Additionally, Style and
Submission Guidelines will be provided that detail article specifications.
As we are nearing the final deadline, we are now making assignments for new
authors due November 29, 2010.
The remaining and available articles have been pasted below. If interested,
please select from this list and contact me by the e-mail information below.
Please provide a brief summary of your academic/publishing credentials in
related issues.
Thanks very much.
Joseph K. Golson
