Intersections: Transdisciplinary Perspectives on Genders and Sexualities - A New Series from NYU Press.
Michael Kimmel & Suzanna Walters, Series Editors
This Series is concerned with the intersections of genders and sexualities
with other axes of identity and social organization: age, class, race,
religion and ethnicity, among others. We will seek works that explore these intersections, by authors who are capable of holding experience up to more than one analytic lens. By incorporating a multi-lens approach to gender and sexuality a far more nuanced and complicated understanding can be understood.
We deliberately seek authors capable of writing for an audience in and
beyond their own discipline. One of the central virtues of truly
transdisciplinary work is that it is well-written, because it must be framed in a way that is accessible to readers in various fields. We seek writers able to write both inside and outside their field, to use different methods, to develop different narrative techniques, and to incorporate theoretical insights from a variety of academic disciplines. In addition, the Intersections Series encourages the exploration of new ways of thinking about gender and sexuality, ultimately, to promote the imaginative reconstruction of the concepts themselves.
Submission Requirements: Submissions should take the form of a 3-5 page proposal outlining the intent and scope of the project, its merits in
comparison to existing texts, and the audience it is designed to reach. You should also include a detailed Table of Contents, 2-3 sample chapters and a current copy of your curriculum vitae.

New Approaches in Sociology: Studies in Social Inequality, Social Change, and Social Justice, Series Editor: Nancy A. Naples, University of Connecticut
Routledge is currently seeking manuscripts for inclusion in its BRAND NEW dissertation series, "New Approaches in Sociology," a series that provides a forum for the publication of rich, in-depth case studies and qualitative analyses, with particular focus on gender, race, ethnicity, sexuality, class, disability, and the ways these themes intersect to highlight and analyze the social. Given the broad scope of potential topics that lend themselves to sociological investigation, this series will necessarily limit its scope to concentrate on research that advances theoretical, methodological, and practical understanding of inequality and social justice. Our series aims to emphasize the contributions of outstanding new scholars to the field.
In the event that your manuscript is selected and you elect to publish with Routledge, we would ask you to provide a final, revised version of your dissertation, along with the associated computer files on a disk(s). Books in the series will be marketed globally to scholars, libraries, and other research institutions. Books in our series are published as attractively as possible for this library market, and come out in hardcover only. We do not provide illustrated covers or copyediting for the books. However, they are typeset and proofread. Authors generally receive a royalty of 4% on net sales of the book, and a predetermined number of free copies (usually five) for personal use.
We invite you to submit a copy of your manuscript to the Routledge address below or to the series editor, along with a CV and an abstract of the dissertation: Series Editor:Nancy Naples, Department of Sociology, University of Connecticut, 344 Mansfield Road, Unit 206829, Storrs, CT 06269-2068.
