Dear colleagues,
We hope you are having a great summer.
We are writing to invite book proposals for our book series, Graduate Studies and Professional Development in Applied Linguistics, published by Applied Linguistics Press. We believe this is the first series dedicated to bringing together the often inconsistent and/or idiosyncratic discussions on graduate education and professional development in applied linguistics. This series is edited by Andy Jiahao Liu, Chengyuan Yu, and Ryan T. Miller.
Graduate Studies and Professional Development in Applied Linguistics explores and demystifies multiple facets of graduate education and professional development in applied linguistics, including the experiences of master’s students, doctoral students, doctoral candidates, postdoctoral scholars, and early-career scholars and professionals. Following the diamond open-access publication model, this international series aims to 1) open up more inclusive and equitable ways to help graduate students and early-career scholars and professionals, the next generation of our field, navigate and thrive in graduate school, professional contexts, and beyond, and 2) cultivate scholarship and practical guides that address methodological, emotional, practical, ethical, professional, and other challenges and dilemmas that these individuals experience as they enter, navigate, transition from, and contribute to graduate school and professional life.
This series welcomes a variety of methodological, theoretical, empirical, and practice-oriented contributions that help graduate students and early-career scholars and professionals navigate the challenges, rewards, and supports of academic and professional life. We are particularly interested in works featuring reflective and autoethnographic accounts that combine rich narratives with strong analytical frameworks. The primary audience this series aims to reach includes graduate students and early-career scholars and professionals working inside and outside academia, but volumes may also appeal to graduate faculty, advisors, administrators, program directors, and mid- or late-career scholars and professionals, as well as anyone committed to finding better and more motivating ways to support emerging members of the field.
We welcome proposals for single-authored, multiple-authored, or edited volumes to extend scholarly conversations and scholarship in graduate studies and professional development in applied linguistics. Authored volumes may be practice-oriented and brief, serving as concise pocket guides (10,000–30,000 words) or Quick Reference Guides (7–8 pages). Any topic of broad interest to graduate education and professional development in applied linguistics will be considered, and proposals are reviewed and accepted on a rolling basis.
More details about the topics of interest, the publication types, the proposal submission guidance, and the review process are available in our Call for Proposalsdocument. We warmly welcome ideas at different stages of development and would be happy to discuss potential proposals with interested authors or editors.
For questions, inquiries, and/or submissions, please contact us at andyjiahao-liu, cyyu9366, and rmill129. We look forward to hearing from you!
With very best wishes/顺颂时祺 即候夏安,
Andy
