I am currently seeking contributors for a reference work on vegetarianism.
This encyclopedia will include approximately 100 entries and covers
cultural and historical aspects of vegetarianism, primarily but not
exclusively in relation to the United States. Scholars from a diversity of
fields, such as History, Anthropology, American Studies, Religious Studies,
History of Medicine, Women’s & Gender History, and the History of Childhood
& Children are encouraged to submit.
Some available entries include but are not limited to: alternative &
holistic medicine; Dr. Benjamin Spock; organic foods & technology; Battle
Creek Sanitarium; health food stores & co-ops; and physical fitness &
athleticism.
The deadline for submission is August 15, 2009.
If you are interested in contributing to this work, please send a c.v. that
includes your background and interests in cultural aspects of vegetarianism
as well as your preferred e-mail and postal address to:
mpuskarpasewicz@gmail.com. Qualified candidates will receive a listing of
all available topics and additional information. Prospective contributors
will receive an assignment, contributors’ guidelines, and
sample entries by e-mail followed by a release form mailed from the
publisher to be signed and returned. Completed entries are subject to the
normal editing process required for quality publications and are
accepted for publication at the discretion of the editor and publisher.
Thank you for your time,
Margaret Puskar-Pasewicz, Editor
