The prestigious Bloomsbury Library of Gender in Popular Culture is inviting proposals for monographs that contribute to innovative scholarship in gender and sexuality studies. Edited by Fiona McKay and Angela Smith, this interdisciplinary series explores fresh perspectives across media, culture, and society.
About the Library
Positioned within the Media Studies list at Bloomsbury, this library builds bridges across diverse academic fields, including:
- Film and television
- Art and cultural studies
- Literature and history
- Politics and gender studies
The library is committed to publishing first-of-its-kind theoretical works, many of which push beyond traditional boundaries.
Focus and Scope
Although gender is already a highly theorized subject, this collection emphasizes innovative scholarly practice. The editors encourage proposals from both established and emerging academics exploring relatively unexplored areas of gender and sexuality.
Published and forthcoming titles highlight diverse topics, such as:
- Gender in TV news technology
- Masculinity and postfeminism
- Female tween culture
- Representations of homosexuality in early cinema
The series is emphatically interdisciplinary and designed for an international readership. Proposals that bring intersectional perspectives or engage with themes like trans identities, non-binary representation, subcultures, and ecocriticism are particularly encouraged.
Submission Guidelines
Researchers interested in contributing are invited to submit a 500-word proposal and an academic CV by 30th November 2025 to:
📩 angela.smith@sunderland.ac.uk
The proposal should include:
- A clear statement of the book’s subject, length, and target market
- Explanation of originality and relevance within the field
- Fit with existing Bloomsbury publications
- Relevance to student courses (with examples of academic programs)
- Estimated completion date and length (including notes and bibliography)
- A synopsis, table of contents, and sample chapters (if available)
Why Contribute?
This is an exceptional opportunity to contribute to a global dialogue on gender in popular culture. Selected works will not only enrich academic discourse but also shape interdisciplinary conversations in film, media, and cultural studies.
