Dear all, 


I’m writing on behalf of faculty member Shereen Hassan at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in British Columbia. Dr. Hassan is looking for a contributor to author a chapter in the much-anticipated, Canada-focused, Introduction to Criminology openly-licensed textbook. The outstanding chapter requiring an author is:

 

  1. Victimology

 

Please see Dr. Hassan’s letter below and circulate this Call for Authors widely. This is a paid opportunity and would come with a $500 honorarium. 

 

If interested or for more information, please reach out to Dr. Shereen Hassan at shereen.hassan@kpu.ca by Monday, September 13, 2021.

I hope that this email finds you well.  My name is Dr. Shereen Hassan and I am an SFU criminology alumni.  I completed my PhD under the supervision of Dr. Simon Verdun-Jones in 2010.  I am now a faculty member at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in the Criminology department and have been here for almost 17 years.  


I am reaching out about an opportunity to contribute to an Open Education Resource for the Introduction to Criminology course.  This text will be the first of its kind in Canadian Criminology and is unique as it seeks to incorporate Indigenous knowledge, history and content in a way that Criminology texts to date have failed to do. Dr. Gail Anderson has contributed in the area of biological explanations of crime, and Dr. Zachary Rowan and Michaela McGuire have co-authored a chapter on learning theories. There are authors from several other universities in B.C. and elsewhere, so it's quite a collaborative effort!

I am still looking for an author in the area of (1) Victimology.

 

We are flexible on deadlines, and we are hoping to have a draft by December 2021.  This text is an introductory text, so the idea here is to provide a brief overview, but to also address this theoretical framework's application to Indigenous principles, Indigenous peoples, Indigenous issues in some way, wherever possible.  We have asked authors to keep the chapters short (approximately 4000 words) or as close to that as possible.

It would be a wonderful honour to have you contribute to this important project. 
I look forward to hearing back from you.
All the best,

 

Shereen Hassan, PhD
