In addition to that, it will be the first book providing a gendered look at freelancing in the communication industries across multiple markets. We aim to publish 10+ chapters reflecting the status of freelance work and the role of gender in the communication industries in various countries. The book will be focused on communication freelancers showcasing diverse methodologies and exploring various geographic spaces through the lens of feminist economics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Subject and topics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The subject of freelancing and its expressions in different types of industries have been developed in edited book chapters or research papers. However, there are no substantial research and publishing endeavours developing the intersections between gender, communication industries and freelancing as a dominant form of flexible work arrangements or self-employment. Exploring the experiences, practices, and discourses related to communication freelancers from a gender perspective would contribute to closing the current research and knowledge gaps, often generated by the lack of individualisation of freelancers among communication professionals in research projects. The editors invite prospective authors to develop chapters addressing the following topics through qualitative, quantitative or mixed methods approaches:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Other topics relevant to the call are also welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Guidance for authors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Please send your structured abstract proposal by April 15th<\/sup>, 2023 to both editors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Deadlines<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Abstract submission \u2013 15.04.2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n 500 words structured abstract (purpose and relevance to the call, methodology, findings, implications\/main contribution), references not included in the word count<\/p>\n\n\n\n Decision on abstracts \u2013 30.04.2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chapter submission (full paper) \u2013 12.2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n Reviews and revisions \u2013 01-02.2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n Manuscript submission \u2013 03.2024<\/p>\n\n\n\n About the editors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr Anca Anton<\/strong> is a Senior Lecturer at the Faculty of Journalism and Communication Sciences, University of Bucharest, Romania. Her research interests are 1) the transformations of the PR\/comms profession and industry, focusing on freelancers, PR agencies, PR\/comms professionals and CSR\/ESG) and their intersection with digital and social media; 2) the intersection of communication and democratised forms of diplomacy, with a focus on civil society diplomacy, citizen diplomacy and digital diplomacy; and 3) (digital) governmental communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr Raluca Moise<\/strong> is a Senior Lecturer at the University of the Arts of London, UK. She developed expertise in two areas: a) PR professionalism (with a focus on flexible working formats and their intersections with communication practices and fields); b) informal organisational communication practices (with a focus on how citizen diplomats or diaspora communities develop or deploy informal strategic communication practices to enact social changes). <\/p>\n\n\n\n References<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Anton, A. & Moise, R.
