Dear Colleagues,

I hope you are keeping well in these uncertain and destabilizing times.

I’m getting in touch to share a call for chapter proposals with you, for a
collection entitled *Critiques of Canada’s Creative Industries*, co-edited
by Cheryl Thompson and me. We are saddened to not be able to meet and
exchange ideas at Congress this year, but hope to continue to move the
conversation forward in our field through this collection.

Please see the call below. If the April 9 deadline for submission of an
abstract presents a challenge, please get in touch.

warmly,
Miranda



*Call for Chapter Proposals: Critiques of Canada's Creative Industries*



Canadian Scholars is considering publishing a volume that will interrogate
Canada's creative industries. Canada's media representations often still
emphasize narratives of multicultural unity and integration. Using a
critical intersectional framework, the editors seek chapter proposals that
examine Canada's creative industries, challenging notions of diversity,
equity and inclusion in cultural production, cultural participation, and in
media representations. In addition to critical race and feminist
approaches, chapters that examine sexuality, able-bodiedness, social class,
gender, Indigeneity and citizenship in the creative industries are welcome.
The editors seek chapters that interrogate the creative fields (broadly
defined) and issues related to not only creative individuals but also the
creative city, creative economy, creative policy, creative production,
notions of space(s) and place(s), labour, arts policy, and/or public sector
media. Chapters that examine issues of representation, inclusion/exclusion,
traditional and digital cultures, visual and performance arts, local and
global cultures are also desired. We also welcome contributions that raise
the visibility of creative and economic practices from underrepresented
communities. Possible areas for submission include:

   - Examining Canada's creative industries at the local, provincial and/or
   federal levels
   - Racialized communities and representation in Canadian media industries
   - Theorizing "cultural diversity" and intersectionality through social
   identities such as race, ethnicity, gender, social class, age, sexualities,
   body size, able-bodiedness, geography
   - Barriers and access to cultural participation and cultural production,
   theorized through an intersectional lens
   - Diversity-based cultural policy initiatives at the local, provincial
   and/or federal levels
   - Creative cities, gentrification and alternative frameworks for
   regeneration
   - Cultural policy, "diversity" and representation in media industries
   - Creative entrepreneurship and the challenges of neoliberalism
   - The gender gap in Canada's creative sector(s)
   - Arts, curatorial, and/or theatre funding and "diversity" discourse
   - Public sector media and the failure(s) of multiculturalism
   - Exploring the intersectionality of space and place in creative
   production(s)

Editors C. Thompson and M. Campbell welcome individual and co-authored
proposals and chapters from both established and emerging scholars,
including graduate students. Expected length of abstract: 200-250 words.
Deadline: *April 9, 2020*. Expected length of final chapter: 8000 words.
Proposed deadline for full chapters: November 9, 2020.



Please submit chapter proposals to: cheryl.thompson at ryerson.ca
