REVISED CALL FOR CHAPTERS
ENVIRONMENTAL LEADERSHIP: A REFERENCE HANDBOOK
Deborah Rigling Gallagher & Norman Christensen, Duke University, & R.N.L
(Pete) Andrews, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. SAGE, 2012.
We are seeking scholarly editorial contributions to Environmental
Leadership, a 2-volume, 100-chapter reference handbook that is part of
the new SAGE Reference Series on Leadership. Chapters are anticipated to
be 7000 words. This is a unique opportunity to help define
environmental leadership. Academic and public libraries will be able to
purchase the handbook as both a printed and a digital product.
The first volume will look at examples of environmental leadership in a
range of fields, from grassroots efforts to corporate sustainability
initiatives. Topical sections of this 50-chapter volume include:
Perspectives on Environmental Leadership (environmental ethics,
eco-feminism, etc.)
Political and Governmental Leadership
Private Sector Leadership
Nonprofit Leadership
Signaling Events (catastrophes, landmark publications, etc.)
Grassroots Activism
Environmental Leadership in Journalism, Literature and the Arts
Environmental Leadership in Education
In the second volume we seek essays that focus on intractable qualities
of environmental problem solving. We envision essays that focus on how
environmental leadership has been applied to address specific problems,
offering both analysis and advice. Overarching themes of this 50-chapter
volume include:
Taking Action in the Face of Scientific Uncertainty
Promoting International Cooperation in the Face of Conflicting Agendas
Addressing Conflicts between Economic Progress and Environmental Protection
Addressing Complex Management Challenges
Addressing Environmental Injustices
Next Generation of Environmental Leaders
If any of these subjects pique your interest, please contact the
managing editor, Deborah Rigling Gallagher at [email protected] for
details. She has prepared a preliminary list of articles and will send
topic suggestions in your area of interest. Please submit proposals (no
longer than 200 words) to her by December 15, 2010. Provide a brief
summary of your current affiliation, related work, articles, and contact
information. Chapters will be due May 15, 2011
