WORKING PAPERS IN THE PEOPLE'S GEOGRAPHY SERIES: Call for Papers
THE GOAL OF THE WORKING PAPERS SERIES
The People's Geography Project will publish working papers that address
the aims of the Project:
In the struggle for social and economic justice, a People's Geography
commits us to understanding how everyday life is structured through
complex relations of power that are fundamentally geographical.
We want to disseminate the latest writing that demonstrates and
addresses this statement. We want to stimulate discussion, aid in
teaching critical geography and expand theoretical and empirical
analyses. Working Papers in the People's Geography will address three
fields:
* "Exploratory Essays" - Empirical research and case studies that
illustrate the issues and debates outlined in the Project's slogan.
* "Theoretical Treatises" - Theoretical analysis and development
of what the Project's slogan means.
* "Building Blocks" - concise papers outlining established
theoretical ideas that can be used to help
teaching and activism. Essays that turn theory into plain language.
ACCEPTANCE OF PAPERS
Working Papers in the People's Geography will be 'works in progress'
that provoke debate, advance geographical perspectives and work towards
the realization of the aims of the People's Geography Project. Members
of the People's Geography Project will read Working Papers to ensure
they meet two criteria for publication:
1. The Working Paper contributes to the aims of the People's
Geography Project
2. The Working Paper is not libelous or otherwise offensive
FORMAT AND DISTRIBUTION
We will make all Working Papers in the series available in two formats:
1. Individual papers that can be downloaded as .pdf files from the
Project's web-site: http://www.peoplesgeography.org/
2. Bi-annual collections of papers, published as booklets in April
and September each year and distributed to libraries, archives,
organizations, institutions and individuals.
As they are circulated and discussed, we hope that the ideas and
assessments presented in Working Papers will progress and develop. As a
result, copyright of the Working Paper remains with the author(s) who
may, at a later date, submit and publish their work elsewhere.
FORMAT AND DISTRIBUTION
For volume 1 of the Working Papers, we will accept material until 1 July
2003. In future, please submit your materials to the People's Geography
Project by 1 January (for April's collection) and 1 July (for
September). Submission may be by email (as attached Word documents) or 2
paper copies of your Working Paper. Also, please use the Harvard in-text
referencing style rather than footnotes or endnotes when completing a
Working Paper and, unless prior arrangement is made with the editor,
please write in English.
