Call for Proposals
Research in Careers
Sherry E. Sullivan and S. Gayle Baugh, Editors
We are pleased to announce a new series by Information Age Publishing
titled “Research in Careers.” This five volume series is directed toward
the ways in which individuals develop and enact their career in the
context of increasing options for career self-definition also recognizing
the increasing constraints affecting how careers unfold.
We are currently seeking proposals for the first volume of this series,
entitled “Maintaining Focus, Energy, and Options over the Life Span.”
This volume will examine how individuals pursue their career and keep
their career vital over the course of their life. The volume will
concentrate on research and theoretical perspectives emphasizing career
growth, career renewal, and career change in the context of complex and
oftentimes limiting external circumstances. We are interested in fresh
scholarship reflecting the dynamics of change over individuals’ lives.
Proposals that acknowledge the increasing demographic diversity in the
workforce and the globalization of careers are especially requested.
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
· Author(s) names
· Detailed outline of the chapter
· List of potential references
· And how the chapter will contribute to the overall direction of
the volume
Proposals are due by February 15, 2008, with the first draft of the
chapter due by May 15, 2008. Manuscripts will be subject to a double-
blind peer review process as well as being editorially reviewed.
If you have questions, please contact Sherry Sullivan
(
ssulliv@bgsu.edu or 419-372-2366) or Gayle Baugh (
gbaugh@uwf.edu or 850-
474-2206). Proposals, in Word format, should be submitted electronically
to Gayle Baugh no later than February 15, 2008.
Additional volumes for the Research in Careers series will
concentrate on seeking challenge in one’s work life, managing work/life
balance, searching for authenticity in one’s work, and threats and
opportunities in the current context of career development. If you have
an interest in contributing to future volumes, please contact either of
the series editors.
