Call for Special Issue Proposals -Environmental Politics

Call for Proposals: Special Issue and Symposia
Deadline: 30 June 2021
Dear Colleagues,
The editorial team at Environmental Politics invites proposals for a full Special Issue (SI) or a shorter Symposium on a well-focused topic of particular interest to the journal’s readership. Although proposals were accepted on a rolling basis in the past, we are transitioning to an open call for proposals twice per year.
Evaluation of proposals will be done by a committee of the Editorial Advisory Board. The June 2021 committee will be myself (chair), David Schlosberg, Hayley Stevenson and Matthew Paterson.
Proposals must provide the following information:
· SI or Symposium Title;
· The name, affiliation, contact details, and a short bio for proposed Guest Editor or Editors (one paragraph each);
· A Table of Contents;
· A description of, and rationale for, the proposed SI or Symposium (500 - 1000 words). This should address its importance, contribution to scholarship in the field, and main methodological approaches. A clear analytical thread and sustained dialogue between papers is integral. To that end, it is valuable to describe any workshops or collaborations that have contributed to the proposal. Interdisciplinary dialogue and approaches are also encouraged.
· Explanation of diversity of proposed contributions. How would the SI or Symposium promote diversity, equity, and inclusion? In what ways would it also address a diversity of approaches to understanding the environment or environmental politics?
Full guidelines, including submission instructions, are available here.
I hope you will consider submitting a proposal.
Best,
Sikina
