Something for me to mull over

I caught the below listing first at A Mama's Rant. The text is taken from here ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CALL FOR PAPERS Demeter Press is seeking submissions for the edited collection Mothering and Blogging: Practice and Theory Deadline for Abstracts: March 1, 2007 Publication Date: Spring 2008 Editors: May Friedman, Shana L. Calixte Critical mothering and writing about motherhood have, in the last few years, begun to engage with a new form of communication. All over the Internet, mommy bloggers are commenting on the radical act of being mothers and women within a world hostile to both of these identities. What are some of the questions posed by this new context for motherhood? What are the implications for sites of marginalization and diversity within the blogosphere? This new book by Demeter Press will seek to interrogate some of the complexities of the mamasphere through both creative and scholarly submissions. We encourage applicants from a range of experiences, in both community and academic contexts. Abstracts/Proposals (250-300 words) due March 1, 2007 Acceptances will be made by May 1, 2007 Accepted submissions due September 1, 2007 Completed papers should not exceed fifteen pages (3750 words) and should be formatted according to MLA guidelines. Please send inquiries and abstracts/proposals to: May Friedman and Shana L. Calixte mayf@yorku.ca, shana@yorku.ca Graduate Programme in Women's Studies York University 4700 Keele Street Toronto, ON M3J 1P3 Canada ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now, I find this subject both intellectually plausible and interesting. I'd love to get something together, but I'm not sure what to write about. And even if I came up with an idea, to crank my brain back up into academic jargon-land will be hard. Still, the word count is extremely doable. What do you all think?
