From: Thomas Conroy [mailto:tmascon@hotmail.com] Sent: Thursday, March 06, 2014 3:33 PM Subject: call for chapters - edited volume on food and media Call for Chapters Dear Colleagues, I am the editor of the recently published book Food and Everyday Life (2014: Lexington Books) and am now planning a follow-up, which will focus on the relationship between food and media, including magazines, film, television, advertising, and the Internet (including social media). As with Food and Everyday Life, I am planning this as an edited volume, thus tapping into the expertise of specialty scholars. I have already spoken with my main contact at Lexington, and they are interested in this. I will thus likely submit the book proposal with them. The main audience for this project will likely be interdisciplinary (and may also include practitioners, such as farmers and policy folks who have an appreciation for research). Having spoken with colleagues in my field of sociology, many have reacted with much enthusiasm for looking more closely at food and food systems. If you would be interested in possibly submitting a chapter proposal at this time, please do so. I would need, simply, at this time a short 1 - 2 paragraph description of what your chapter would likely be. I am interested, in particular, in substantive studies of the relationship between food and mass media, particularly from a social science/media studies/cultural studies perspective. I would also like you to mention your institutional affiliation and your title within that institution. However, if you are an independent scholar, I am also open to your proposals. Later, if your chapter is selected, I will follow up with you regarding submitting your chapter. The deadline for submitting to me would be April 10, 2014. Please let me know, also, if you have any particular questions about this project. Sincerely, Tom Conroy Dr. Thomas Conroy Department of Sociology Carman Hall - room B59 Lehman College 250 Bedford Park Blvd. Bronx, NY 10468 (718) 960 - 8015
