[Air-L] CfP - Routledge's "Media Studies Meet Drug Research"

[Piotr Siuda]

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

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!
Warm Regards
