I’m excited to partner with Peter Felten and Stylus Publishing on a new book series on engaged learning and teaching. Here are the details…
Series Editors:
- Jessie L. Moore (jmoore28@elon.edu), Director, Center for Engaged Learning, Elon University
- Peter Felten (pfelten@elon.edu), Executive Director, Center for Engaged Learning, Elon University
Primary Contact: Jessie L. Moore, jmoore28@elon.edu
About the Series
The Stylus/Center for Engaged Learning Series on Engaged Learning and Teaching features concise books (both single author and edited collections) for a multi-disciplinary, higher education audience interested in research-informed engaged learning practices. Series books are published by Stylus Publishing and supplemented by open-access resources hosted on the Center for Engaged Learning’s website.
Book authors/editors who publish in the series will join a community of scholars focused on engaged learning and teaching, with series books collectively marketed to faculty, staff, and administrators across higher education institution types. The Series Editors
- collaborate with book authors/editors on promoting their books to a broad audience of stakeholders in higher education,
- offer strategies for showcasing books in conference presentations, and
- support the development of robust supplemental resources that extend readers’ use and discussion of the books.
Series Audience
Although individual books in the series might most appeal to those interested in a specific topic, authors/editors should “translate” their research/theories for broad audiences in higher education, including faculty, staff, faculty developers, administrators, and policy makers. Therefore, authors/editors should speak to the scholarship’s implications for higher education, including effective practices for teaching, curriculum design, and/or educational policies.
Expectations for Promoting Series Books
The Series Editors will collaborate with authors/editors to promote each book on the Center for Engaged Learning’s website, through social media, and by targeting conference sessions near publication dates. Proposals for books in this series should include a preliminary list of open-access resources (e.g., discussion questions for reading groups, videos and other multimedia resources related to the book topics, sample research materials that might otherwise appear in an appendix, etc.) that could be hosted on the Center for Engaged Learning’s website (pending final review by the Center). Submitted manuscripts must include these supplemental materials. The Series Editors will share strategies for developing and curating these materials.
Guidelines for Brief Proposal
Authors/editors should submit a brief proposal for feedback from the Series Editors before developing a full proposal. The brief proposal should include a one- to two-page summary of:
- the book concept,
- its potential contribution to practice and literature,
- its appropriateness for the Stylus Publishing/Center for Engaged Learning Series on Engaged Learning and Teaching,
- an indication of the anticipated format (e.g., authored book or edited collection, estimated number of chapters, and organizational structure),
- brief information about the relevant qualifications of the authors/editors, and
- a preliminary plan to promote the book at conferences, etc.
