Because we seek to include as many diverse voices as possible, final original chapters will be limited to 4,000 words (including works cited or references). We invite chapters that are concise yet provocative and generative. Individual chapters might respond to a single publication coauthored by Alexander and Rhodes, or they might respond to a thread or argument woven throughout their collaborative oeuvre (refer to the list of collaborative publications at the end of the CFP). Also, in the spirit of promiscuous collaboration, we encourage collaborative proposals—especially collaborations across differences (age, academic rank, gender, race, sexual identity, kink, institutional affiliation, etc.).</span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-kerning: auto; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-feature-settings: normal; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-variation-settings: normal; color: rgb(31, 34, 37);"><span class="s1"><br></span></p><p class="p1" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-kerning: auto; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-feature-settings: normal; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-variation-settings: normal; color: rgb(31, 34, 37);"><span class="s1">To submit your proposal, <a href="https://forms.gle/5r4meSqzY2B2m7gz5"><span class="s3" style="color: rgb(15, 84, 146);">please see this Google Form link</span></a> and submit by <b>June 1</b>.
