Hello, all,
I realize this is an unorthodox use of the Q & A section.
Attached please find a call for chapter proposals for the edited text, Mining the Crisis: News Media Narratives about Education in the Age of Neoliberalism, to be published by Peter Lang. Scholars interested in educational studies and research, communications, media and cultural studies, and journalism studies might find the call particularly appealing.
Mining the Crisis seeks to make sense of news reporting about issues related to education, particularly in light of local and global impacts due to neoliberal politics, policies, and practices. Among the goals of this book is to inform and sensitize readers to the role news media plays in conveying a sense of crisis regarding education, how educational research is reported and deployed in media stories on issues related to public education to, how the news media reinforces what Gramsci calls a ‘common sense’ logic regarding public education reform, the relationship between news media reports and understandings of the relationship between schooling, the state, and issues of equity and social justice, and how new media structures help to disrupt and revision the relationships between those who report and mediate the news about education.
Authors interested in contributing a chapter should submit a 250-word abstract that provides an overview of the intended manuscript no later than April 24, 2015 to [email protected]. Early submissions encouraged. Questions and inquiries welcome.
