Guest Editor for special issue of Sociological Perspectives on Environmental Sociology
We are seeking a guest editor for a Special Issue addressing current research within the field of environmental sociology. As a general sociology journal, Sociological Perspectives publishes original empirical research representing a variety of sociological theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches. Sociological Perspectives (SP) is the official journal of the Pacific Sociological Association (PSA), which sees itself as a leader in promoting sociological inquiry into environmental issues. A special issue on environmental sociology is a way to highlight PSA’s commitment to environmental sociology and to identify, to the sociological community.
Selection of the chosen proposal will be the outcome of a collaborative evaluation by SP Co-Editors according to the following criteria:
• Suitability of the topic for an Environmental Sociology special issue. For example: broad enough to attract a
reasonable number of submissions and be of interest to SP readers
• Coherent and strong focus on topic of high current interest
• Originality and significance of contribution to the field
Proposals for a Special Issue should include:
• The name(s) and address(es) of the corresponding guest editor(s) along with CV(s);
• A suggested title for the Special Issue
• A 400 to 500 – word rationale explaining the scope and significance of the proposed topic
• Potential contributors (all submissions will be subjected to the normal peer review process)
Deadline: Proposals should be submitted to the Editorial Office socpersp@pdx.edu by October 16, 2017.
Guest Editor Information: Guest Editor(s) will be largely responsible (with some support and collaboration from the Editorial Office) for the process of peer-review and manuscript processing, including issuing a call-for- papers, inviting reviewers, writing an introductory article, and approval of selected manuscripts.

• July 2017 – Call for proposals
• October 2017 – Proposals due
