Paleontologists in Film, Literature, and Contemporary Media
This collection seeks essays on paleontologists in film, literature, and contemporary media. The Jurassic Park franchise solidified the presence of paleontology in the pop cultural imagination, but there have been other media and portrayals that have captured the public's imagination. Topics can include, but are not limited to:
-Studies of specific films
-Studies of specific novels
-Studies of fictional and/or real-life paleontologists in modern media
Chapters will be due in September 2025. Chapters should be approximately 5,000 to 7,000 words, with Chicago-style endnotes and a bibliography page.
