For the second edition of the International Encyclopedia for the Social and Behavioural Sciences (Oxford: Elsevier, 2015) the biography editors are looking for authors for some of the still unassigned entries.
Each bio-entry should have approximately 5000 words and contain the following: (1) the most important biographical facts (country of origin, education, professional qualifications, networks, academic achievements and awards, etc); (2) a short description of the major works and publications; (3) a discussion of the lasting impact and discussion of the work (4) a select bibliography.
