full name / name of organization: 
Betty Kaklamanidou - Margaret Tally

We are currently inviting submissions for 2-3 chapters for an edited collection on Washington and Politics on Contemporary US Television already contracted by Ashgate.
Television has been accommodating a bigger number of political narratives in the last years. From the dramatic "The West Wing," "Scandal," "Madame Secretary," "Homeland," "House of Cards," to the short-lived yet impressive "Boss," and "Commander in Chief" and the mini-series "Political Animals," as well as the comedic "Veep" and "The Brink," millennial TV is fraught with political plot lines that are edgier and more provocative than their filmic counterparts.
This collection aims to provide the first comprehensive study of these televised political narratives from an interdisciplinary perspective. We are seeking for 2-3 complete chapters focusing primarily on the following shows: "Madame Secretary," "Homeland," "Veep," "Boss," and/or "The Brink."
Contributor guidelines:
1. Full papers (not to exceed 7,000 words)
2. Brief CV (max. 150 words) including affiliation and recent publications for each author(s).
3. Submission deadline for full essays: April 10, 2016.
5. Materials and/or questions should be submitted by e-mail to betty.kaklamanidou@gmail.com
