I am writing to invite you to contribute to the Research in Careers series. We are soliciting proposals for Volume 4, which focuses on challenging and stimulating work. Opportunities for challenging work may be related to identity group status, thus this chapter is relevant to the domain of the Division. The series is based on the Kaleidoscope Career Model, but submissions need not specifically reference that model to be included in the volume.
For those of you who do not like to have to click on attachments (I am one of those people!), I am copying the Call for Proposals here:
Call for Proposals: Career Challenge
Research in Careers: Sherry E. Sullivan and S. Gayle Baugh, Editors
Proposal Deadline: October 1, 2015
We are currently seeking proposals for Volume 4 of the Research in Careers series. This volume will examine how individuals seek challenge in their career. The volume will concentrate on quantitative and qualitative studies as well as theoretical perspectives that examine the issue of challenge within today's dynamic work environment. New and innovative scholarship that investigates career challenge at the individual or organizational level is welcome. Proposals that acknowledge the increasing demographic diversity in the workforce and the globalization of careers are especially desired.
Proposals should be designed for a chapter of 37,500 to 56,250 characters, including figures and tables (approximately 25 to 30 pages). Proposals should include:
· Proposed title
· The name, address and email of each author
· Detailed outline of the chapter
· List of potential references to be used in the chapter
· Indication of how the chapter will contribute to the overall direction of the volume.
Proposals are due by October 1, 2015, with the first draft of the chapter due by February 1, 2016. Manuscripts will be subject to a double blind- peer review process as well as being editorially reviewed.
If you have questions, please contact Sherry (ssulliv@bgsu.edu). Proposals, in Word format, APA style, should be submitted electronically to Sherry no later than October 1, 2015.
