*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~apologies for cross-postings*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Contexts Magazine http://www.contextsmagazine.org <http://www.contextsmagazine.org/> The American Sociological Association has recently launched Contexts, a new magazine under the leadership of Claude S. Fischer, Professor of Sociology at University of California at Berkeley. The magazine is soliciting contributions for articles. Though Contexts is peer-reviewed, it operates like a magazine. Rather than reviewing full-length academic articles, the magazine solicits short proposals for review before asking authors to write full-length pieces. As a graduate student editor, I am trying to encourage the inclusion of technology-related topics (studied from a sociological perspective) in the magazine. If you are interested in contributing a piece to the magazine, please take a look at the guidelines for submission (http://www.contextsmagazine.org/authors_subinfo.html). You can also contact me with any questions. What is Contexts? ----------------- Contexts brings to a wide audience sociological ideas and research in an accessible and engaging way and offers fresh perspectives, clear, concise thinking and jargon-free reporting. Contexts also presents original, provocative photographs and illustrations that enhance understanding of social life. And Contexts helps general readers better understand important social issues that affect us all, addressing both critical public concerns and the often perplexing behavior of human beings. ------------------------------------------------------------------- nalini p. kotamraju ph.d candidate, department of sociology university of california at berkeley mailto:nalinik@uclink.berkeley.edu | http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~nalinik AOL IM: nkotamraju | 415.595.1033 voice
