Subject: Graphic Novels as Philosophy - New Deadline/Second Call
Dear List Members:
As abstracts start coming in (thank you!) I’ve received a few late requests for more information about the book project. I don’t want to deny interested philosopher the opportunity to make a submission so I’m extending the deadline (to Oct. 15) and announcing a second call for abstracts. Please forward to interested parties (as some of you have already; and again thank you!)
The University Press of Mississippi has expressed an interest in a sequel to the edited collection “Comics as Philosophy” and has encouraged me to contact qualified contributors. Each essay should focus on one graphic novel. Ideally speaking I hope to cover a broad range of philosophical topics and graphic novel genres. Below is a list of genres and a few examples of titles that you may wish to consider.
The text is intended to be a serious academic contribution to the field of both popular culture and philosophy. As such it is not intended for the lay reader though they may of course find it interesting. Ultimately my aim is to use and introduce philosophy and graphic novels as a way to help students gain a deeper understanding and appreciation of both.
Please send the following information to me by Oct. 15th (along with the headings below)

Tentatively, the book will look something like this:
