Dear Colleagues I hope you are doing well. I want to share an opportunity for scholars working at the intersection of media studies and drug research. Together with Dr. Michał Wanke (University of Opole), I am co-editing an upcoming volume titled "Media Studies Meet Drug Research." The book, which has received initial positive feedback from Routledge’s commissioning editors, aims to bring together researchers from both fields to explore theoretical, empirical, and methodological connections. We already have contributions from several established scholars and are assembling what promises to be a compelling and interdisciplinary collection. We are looking for chapter contributions on topics such as: - Theoretical and conceptual frameworks linking media and drug research - Identity, stigma, and agency in drug-related and media environments - Representations, narratives, and moral panics - Digital platforms, online drug markets, and algorithmic influence - Policy, governance, and surveillance across both fields - Methodological and ethical innovations in interdisciplinary research Key deadlines: - Extended abstract submission: April 20, 2025 - Notification of acceptance: April 30, 2025 - First drafts due: October 1, 2025 - Final drafts due: December 31, 2025 Here is a link to the official page with further details: https://drugsproject.pl/wp-content/uploads/2025/02/CfP_Media_Studies_Meet_Dr... We would be delighted if you considered submitting a proposal or sharing this call with colleagues who may be interested. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or would like to discuss potential topics. Looking forward to your thoughts!
