CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS:
Exiled from Academia: Women and Discrimination in Higher Education
Victoria D. Heckler
Deadline: December 1, 1999
Submissions are sought for inclusion in a volume offering topics that clarify, dignify, and/or politicize the problems of racism, sexism, ageism and/or heterosexism faced by women seeking tenure/advancement in American colleges and universities.
The purpose of this research is to augment existing statistical research on the underrepresentation of women in tenured positions at American colleges and universities through the use of personal narratives. As evidenced by the number of cases of discrimination in hiring and tenuring presented in the media, there are many women with powerful stories to tell about their experiences of being wrongfully denied tenure or terminated from their positions at colleges and universities across the US This research will provide a venue for those stories to be told.
Guidelines for Submissions: Submissions should take the form of personal narratives and essays. Academic submissions will be considered, but are not encouraged. Submissions may be of any length, although longer submissions (3000+ words) may be truncated for publication. Technical guidelines for submissions are as follows:
Typed Submissions: Must be double-spaced, in a minimum 10-point font and accompanied by a hard copy on an IBM-compatible disk.
Electronic Submissions: Via e-mail with either MS Word or WordPerfect attachment.
