CFP: Book Chapters for Edited Volume “The Internet and the 2016 Presidential Campaign” (Edited by Jody C. Baumgartner and Terri L. Towner) Proposal Deadline: Chapter manuscripts due by January 1, 2017. A completed book manuscript delivered by April 1, 2017. Virtually all aspects of political campaigns have been dramatically changed as the result of the Internet. The increased centrality of the Internet in citizens’ lives has had an effect on how we learn about, view, and interact with campaigns and candidates. The online campaign has now evolved into an extensive, sophisticated, and integral part of presidential electioneering. Although many developments surrounding the Internet campaign are now considered to be standard fare, there will no doubt be a number of new developments in 2016. This is inevitable, given the rapid rate of technological change and the ability of citizens, news organizations, candidates, parties and interest groups adapting to these changes. “The Internet and the 2016 Presidential Campaign” will examine these changes, exploring the continued evolution of the Internet’s role in presidential campaigns. Because the Internet has affected virtually all aspects of modern presidential campaigns, the book will be divided into four sections. Each will contain approximately 4-5 chapters. Proposals for each section will be considered: Section I. Campaign Organizations and Political Networks. Section II. Citizen Involvement: Participation and Engagement Section III. Citizen Involvement: Knowledge and Learning. Section IV. Political Newsmaking: Production, Delivery, and Consumption If you are interested in submitting, please contact Jody C. Baumgartner (jodyb@jodyb.net) or Terri L. Towner (towner@oakland.edu) with any questions or possible topics. -- Associate Professor Pi Sigma Alpha Faculty Advisor Oakland University Department of Political Science
