We are seeking additional contributors for our edited collection of scholarly essays on these recent changes in the complexity of time-travel media (film, television, gaming, music media, or literature). The primary argument framing for this collection emphasizes the increasing narrative complexity within recent time-travel media. Submissions that are interdisciplinary in theory and method are welcome, especially those in popular culture, science fiction, fantasy, genre studies, critical media studies, narratology, etc. Abstracts and papers discussing recent time-travel media, approximately within the last decade, may include but are not limited to research concerning narrative structure, theme, genre, reception, comprehension, and other relevant topics.

Call for chapter proposals

Contracted book

"The Future of Honors Education - Advanced Learning for Today and Tomorrow" (CSP, 2023)

A small number of chapter writing opportunities remain open for this contracted book.

The focus of this book is on the future of honors education - innovations, contemporary activities, programmatic developments, suggested trajectories. . . (Ideas welcome!). The intention is not to abandon the past, but to draw on that past, consider the present, and look to the (exciting!) future - as all wonderful honors education tends to do. ;-)
